Davis and Dixon would be awesome. Loadsock was a disappointment this year.

Tacario donged to UW by Biggins
LFG!! Walters running press man to man with 7-8 guys crowding the box gives me priapism. Now, can Fish call an offense that scores more than 22ppg? That’s the concern. 34 against Louisvilles second string defense doesn’t count.
WSU has a DL guy (Gusta) that they should go hard after. He's the #3 dl in the portal. Absolutely need to get 2-3 decent dl/edge guys (not of the "good depth" variety)
Gusta and M’ba would be a couple nice additions. Not sure how edge is used in a Walters defense. Are they there to hold the edge or push the pocket? Does the pressure come from outside speed rushes or from confusing stunts and twists up the middle? I’m here for it. 2024 is done and gone, I’m attempting to charge to maximin Doog for a 2025 run.

Can we go after the WSU OT as well maybe? Just a thought…
Hell…maybe even pay a couple of our 3rd string OL money to go play for a year at WSU and get some practice in before they transfer back. It’s going to happen in college football soon…might as well be on the forefront of it.

Better yet, send our first string OL to WSU

Tacario Davis has a new crystal ballz to UW. That must mean Dixon is going pro.
As for the OL, let's say they don't take another OL (partly due to no great player being available and partly due to room). Would this be a good OL?
LT: McCree / Jackett
LG: Finau OR Henning
C: Hatchett / Watkins
RG: Hatchett / Champ T.
RT: Carver Willis / Faasolo OR Azzopardi (Azzopardi may hit the portal, he's not starting quality in the B1G).
Finau received reps yesterday at LG and RT. I'd like to see him at LG in 2025.

Willis is legit. Wouldn't be surprised to see Faasolo moved inside.

Azzopardi was a disappointment this season, and I don't see him starting in 2025. McCree and Carver are locks for OT
Finau played a lot in the Sun Bowl, so I expect him to be starting inside next year and moving to OT in 2026
Faasalos feet are better suited inside than out. He reminds me of when Huff tried to make Beulow an OT.

Azzopardi with a full offseason of lifting MIGHT be better than G Hatchett at guard.
Nothing about G Hatchett being back excites me

That being said, get another portal lineman that is solid like the K State player.
There’s a lot riding on brother Hezekiah’s ability to coach.

Thats better than this year but still not what we need to be. Need another impact guy or two.

Well he was good enough to be a 4-star recruit and then good enough for another very good program (Oklahoma) to want him. Yeah he's getting over an injury (bicep) but better than a leg injury.
He will also be a 5th year player rather than a RS-Frosh or RS-Soph.

I don't know, Faasolo is a legit 6'8" and those guys don't tend to hold up well against 6'3" DTs who have much better leverage.
Faasolo is an RT to me, not quick enough to stick at LT but 1 more year of experience would serve him well technique-wise to play RT.
But it will be chinteresting to see where the staff wants Finau (will be a RS-Frosh in 2025) and Champ may be ready to play some snaps at OG as a true frosh.
Champ is a nice prospect but Fautano and Rosengarten didn’t play as true freshman. Nor did Paki until late in the year. If Champ is playing guard next year UW is in trouble.
