Will it be good enough to win @WSU and @Michigan for the first two non layup games of 2025?
LT: SR McCree
LG: RS-Frosh Paki Finau OR portal stud
C: JR Hatchett
RG RS-SR Memelaar
RT: RS-JR Azzopardi OR RS-Soph Tafai

DE: True JR Jacob Lane OR Portal Stud
DT: RS-Soph Ellineus Davis OR Portal Stud
DT: True SR Jayvon Parker (if he's recovered) OR SR Bryce Butler OR Logan Sagapoulo (if he gets another year)
DE: RS-JR Isiah Ward OR Senior DeShawn Lynch
They may not need to portal in an OL but will definitely need to portal in at least 1 DT and ideally a well-rounded DE since Ward is more of a pass-rush guy and Lynch is more of a 5 tech DL.
LB also needs portal attention since House is will be a true soph while Deven Bryant and the transfer from Michigan are unproven as far as I can tell. ZRS could easily be in the two deeps as a true frosh.
Anyone else have thoughts?
 
I forgot about Durfee, would be nice to have him as he's a 3 down DE but I don't think he'll ever be healthy enough to play more than a few games before getting hurt again.
 
Definitely need more money to bring in some stud transfers. The going rate for a good OL / DL is about $300k from what I've heard.
 
Need to spend money on at least 2 OL transfers and at least 1 DL transfers (possibly 2) to contend.
Next year will be Rebuild Year 1 (Take 2)

Apparently too expensive for UWAD…

No. That’s the line of a 6 win team. Said months ago losing Marcus Bryant to Mizzo probably cost this team 2 wins and still believe it.

Scary thing is they must not think much of the Freshman OL tackles that they haven’t given even one of them a shot considering how bad the line has played.

And that 6 wins is if more goes more right than wrong.
Our projected DL next year makes the returning OL look like the 2023 group.
 
Assparty and Tafai are so bad. Im not sure they have any opportunity to be good tackles. Interior has been solid to good?

I see lots of good on the D line though so I'm willing to LIPO especially if Durftoe is back. Lack of pass rush IMO is Belichick
 
Steve Belichick has made 2 phone calls since getting off plane this morning.
One to his agent letting all 32 NFL teams he will take ANY defensive position coach opening that comes up
Second to his real estate agent seeing if his landlord will let his lease go from month to month to day to day if he agrees to pay extra every month for that flexibility.

He makes over a million as a playcaller at UW. There are only 5-6 DC in the NFL that make that much. He’s not leaving unless his dad gets another job and it sounds like Kraft blackballed Bill. I could be wrong and maybe a pay cut and giving up playcalling is worth not recruiting but personally I never like leaving money on the table.

There are at least 15 who make that much.

You’re Close. There are 12 that make more. Belechiks salary would put him T13 out of 32 DC’s in the NFL. I stand corrected. If he performs at UW he’ll get a raise that would put him top10 in the NFL. He’d be taking a big pay cut to be a position coach.

I'm not that down on Belicheck because losing his best corner (Dixon to such a BS call in the first quarter) forced him to be more conservative. And it's not like he returned Bralen Trice and ZTF. Durfee was supposed to be the next good UW pass-rusher and can't get healthy while the other guys aren't 3 down linemen yet (Isiah Ward, Lance Holtzclaw, and Jacob Lane).
And let's be honest, Bandes and Valdez are JAGs. I like Elinneus Davis for a guy who could be good against the run and pass but he's only a RS-Frosh so I'm looking forward to seeing him next year. The staff will definitely need to find a stud DL or two in the portal and that will cost at least $350k each (if not $500k).
