Transfer Portal DL

Paki had lots of hype and was compared to Troy when he signed. I imagine he’ll start somewhere and it’d be nice if he could pull a Troy and lock down that LT.👌👌

LT - Portal
LG- Moe
C- Hatchett
RG- Paulido
RT- McCree
Assuming Paulido leaves Arizona this would be a major upgrade to size, age and strength up the middle. McCree was light last year, if he can add good weight he’s a nice option at RT. Azzopardi is a nice depth piece if he agrees to come back to compete and Tafai and Faasalo either aren’t good enough or need more time in the oven to bake. I don’t think you can run either of them off just yet.

the Michigan pass rush was jail break for most of the 2nd half. Not sure if McRee did good or not. I remember they had to play williams a lot because of it though.

I thought it was more of interior OL (specifically the transfer who was a back-up at Ohio State). That was also when Azzopardi started struggling as well.
 
McCree is the only returning one I'm potentially excited about. Hatchett I could see but he feels more like a guy who shouldn't be playing until his redshirt junior year.
The line really fell apart when he was gone. As much trouble as they had against Michigan they did way better than they did the rest of way against any of the good ones they faced, though all of those were on the road.

McCree looked decent to me as a LT. He played pretty well against Michigan's good DL. But if UW can find someone better, it would be great if he moved to RT.
So for the OL, our guesses are Jackett portals, Azzopardi portals, Faasolo portals, and Gaard medically retires? That would reduce the numbers from 18 to 14 and allow the staff to add at least two veteran / better portal OL (1 OT and 1 OG).

I don’t think all those guys will portal. They’re still young and have a lot of experience compared to their back ups. If UW portals in 3 or 4 starters I’d like to have those guys on the roster as experienced back ups. If they can’t improve with age then you eventually cycle them out. Saying goodbye after rough RS freshman seasons seems a bit rash.

Apparently Bryce Butler redshirted so he will be a RS-JR.
It will be very chinteresting to see how Jayvon Parker recovers from achilles surgery. I suspect he had it in early Oct so he'll probably be limited for all of fall camp.

I would plan on Parker redshirting this year (the injury was in Game 5 this year so in theory he isn't redshirting this year unless he gets a medical) … that's a full year injury for normal people and then when you add in being a larger human and it really being an injury where it takes an additional year after that to regain explosion and strength … I think you could make a compelling argument for him to redshirt next year and selectively choose to play in 4 games

Ok, I thought Parker was able to get a RS this year but assuming he didn't and will RS in 2025, the DTs could look like this:
1-tech: Portal / RS-JR Armond Parker OR Sagapulo (if he comes back)
3-tech: RS-Soph Elinneus Davis / RS-JR Bryce Butler / RS-Frosh Omar Khan
Frankly, the 1-tech is so thin that it would make sense to bring in two big-bodied DTs. Davis and Butler have the size to play 1-tech but would rather bring in top portal DT.
This guy has 2 years remaining and would be perfect but will probably cost at least $1 million so not sure the Huskies have the fire power unless they after fewer portal guys:

Keeshawn Silver - Kentucky Wildcats - Defensive Line

There are 2 positions I would absolutely take from Kentucky while the Wrong Stoops is there and that’s DL and DB.

So true. Kentucky always has dudes on the DL. FatStoops has a knack.
 
Me thinks Bear Alexander is too edgy for UW admin? Probably too pricey too as a true mercenary.

We're spending at least $9m more next year than this year, so depending on the market rate…

Hasn't Alexander been a big disappointment and he has bailed on two schools now? Not that excited.

Is he better than Bandes?

Well yes, but seems like a guy you have to break the bank for who quit on his last team.
