Jedd Fisch Introductory Presser right here at 11AM Pacific

Fisch was asked a bunch about will you stay or are you planning to leave. He answered it well by saying the name of the game is the 12 team CFP, there’s two conferences that matter, and theres 14-16 teams that get in the CFP, UW checks all of those boxes. That’s about it. Now go execute.

This is the reality

There’s really no reason to leave if you have one of those seats and are leading one of those jobs correctly

That’s what is so telling about DeBoer’s move … he had one of those jobs, didn’t invest in its future, and left for a “better” job that he’s assuming will drop him talent in a far easier manner

Someone posted somewhere all the issues AZ had, Fisch had asked for a raise, it was delayed, the contract was limited to 5 years, a whole list of other items that circled back to the poor financial shape the
University of AZ is in.

He’s going to talk to his guys and some variation of this will come out. Plus, the kids will be able to monetize their current position. As it relates to roster building, recruit the current Uw team, then let it play out.

I believe him that he’s going to be focused on 2025. He’s got a contract and institution that will let him and leads to sustainable success.

State laws limits to 5 years

I’ve been vocal on Twitter/X about not hiring a coach because of what he can bring via the portal

I won’t be critical of key Arizona guys don’t come

2024 is a transition year full stop

2025 recruiting is huge and so is player development throughout 2024
 
His first recruiting job is Fifita and McMillan. Let’s see how he does.

Would love for those guys to come but also don’t blame if they view the opportunity at Arizona as one that they want to finish off

It’s not a guarantee that they come and I’m not going to view that as a failure if it doesn’t happen

His first recruiting job is the 17 UW kids in the portal.

OL is the hardest position group to build. Pulling back UWs 3 (I think it’s 3?) starters who are potentially portalling Should be priority 1

No one wanted him

I never really saw what Morgan brought to the table anyway.

That's the point. Hecwas hyped up as some kind of master recruiting expert but didn't do shit except help Inoke pull in some mid-3 star DL guys and talk shit on Twitter about not needing high-level recruits

He didn’t help build UM’s roster over night. I truly believe we? were in on some high 4’s in this upcoming cycle because of his efforts… that may or may not have been taking too long. Shits all for not, maybe we’ll still get a visor on the table.

2 and one who declared early for the draft (Rosengarten) who I bet is fully gone. Two interesting things are Mele who was the starting center game one but got hurt I'm sure can get another year if he wants and Memmelaar I believe beat out both eventual starting guards before getting hurt.
 
I didn’t realize fisch was howie roseman’s college roommate. Seems like that’s a more likely destination for him than Florida

Correct. Timing probably doesn’t line up for Philly’s next hire but maybe the cycle after that.
