The Fisching Report Recruiting Thread Sponsored by The Fisch Bowl

Rutgers is not going to an easy win at all.
I like what Fisch and Co. are doing. UW is currently #25 in average star rating on Scout and ZDR / Lawson should help with that. Still in the hunt for Dylan Robinson I think.

To the first thing ☝️
I like your second thing. It's a wash.

Haha. I think Rutgers returns a good amount of starters from a good D. Their passing game isn't that good but it is early in the season and @ Rutgers. It wouldn't surprise me if the line is tight.

Think Macon and Sanchez Hernandez will be 2 of the better recruits in this class…hope we can hold onto Macon. Think some big programs will come after him late in the process.

Good call on Macon. That's a big boy that moves like he's 220.

He looks like a SEC DL. Gotta hold on to him. If he lived in the south, he’d be a 4 star, and we’d have no chance at him.
Edit: his competition is small white kids who look like ass. He needs to use his hands better, but you can’t teach big, strong, and agile. This kid could be an absolute fucking monster in a couple years.

If he's anywhere close to the 6-3, 305 that 247 lists him at then he's an incredible prospect. Light on his feet, good bend and really quick off the ball.

Rutgers is far from a guaranteed win
That said, if we lose to Rutgers that probably happens if our OL/DL isn't as good as some may think it can be

I would love to read a teq essay on the subject.

I'll try to keep this out of essay levels …
First, recruiting has materially changed in the current environment of NIL and a bunch of early transfers with players not getting the playing time that they want early. I personally don't think that you can take the norms of the past and apply them going forward.
UW was going to have some talent gaps this year regardless of who was coaching and a lot of that was driven by the big recruiting misses in the Lake era as well as some so so recruiting by DeBoer … particularly true in his transition year in. Had KDB stayed, we probably have a better class than what we ended up with and there probably was a greater commitment to attack the portal (at higher levels) with NIL money. Once he left and there was a gutting of what was returning on the roster then it probably made sense to be a little more judicious on the NIL dollars spent.
I'm not sure that I see UW changing their NIL approach to really attack the high end recruits that are demanding NIL dollars up front … I'm not going to say that I think this is a great approach and I do feel like UW is viewing that cash flow commitment in a misguided way, but I don't think it's going to change in the short-term. Short-term there is going to be a balance in keeping the Athletic Department in a sound fiscal position and then continuing to focus NIL dollars on established players. Long-term, UW needs to view NIL dollars going to recruiting as being similar to investment in R&D for a normal company.
In the interim, what makes sense for UW is to find players that fit the values/culture of what has worked at UW that also understands the path to development and playing. The approach that UW is taking requires the players UW is bringing in to not be looking to leave UW at the first possible instance. If that can be maintained, then smart investment in the portal for players will be a strong investment as well as reinvesting in our existing roster.
More than anything, UW would stand to benefit from the college football environment exiting the Wild Wild West and getting back into some form of rules and regulations that establish the playing field. What UW will not do is push the envelope in any material area.
As for Fisch, I think he's attacking this similar to what he did at Arizona but will be starting at a higher bar. Year 1 is about building the culture and infusing the roster with young talent. Year 2 will be about that talent taking a step forward and highlighting what is possible on the horizon. Year 3 is all about beginning the process of competing at a high high level. There's nothing I'm seeing out of Fisch that is inconsistent with this path.

I don’t see anything here that I’d disagree with. One of my main qualms was they aren’t spending aggressively in portal, doesn’t seem to be aggressive with nil hs kids so where’s the money? If I’m comprehending, you’re saying they are being fiscally responsible as opposed to win now wasteful spending… it would make sense though I don’t know if I agree and I sure as shit don’t like it.
You mentioned 3 yrs and that’s one of my biggest issues. We either have the money or we? don’t to buy a competitive team each year. Maybe you’re right and they just don’t have it to go balls to the wall immediately. Man, I hate this long game shit.

I wonder how much that watch cost for who I presume was his wife telling him to take it off. Feels like it was one of those “you spent how much on a fucking watch…” type of things. Probably water proof. Watch geeks feel free to zoom in and identify exactly what it is and how much.

I’m not a modern day pussy but watching that guy climb that shaky fence in socks wasn’t the brightest idea. Some staff attorney gonna put an end to that real fast.
