UW Couch Sales & Purchases (Portal Tracker)

I’m with you Roadie. If UW’s Junior, not young anymore, QB gets any better, 10 regular season wins is on the table. If he flatlines in his development then 8-9 seems like level ground for this roster.

You, RoadDawg, and a few others are the ones making this recruiting thread somewhat tolerable, and I thank you for that. Level heads.

Maybe a separate I HATE EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE recruiting thread could help. Fuck, it's like an asteroid is about to hit Montlake in January if we sign a dude who played at Ball State because he played at Ball State.

They suck until they don’t Ern. When we’re beating other heavy weights for portal croots I’ll doog. They Yale receiver with lots of productivity committed to Stanford.
 
When did this place get so doogy? I'm used to being the doog

I'm all for being excited for players and the season but 90% of what the doogs are saying is literally "hey maybe these guys that have no evidence of being gamechangers will actually win UW 2 extra games!". I'd love some more meat on that logical bone.

Who are the top 3 players that we can be reasonably confident will make UW better than last year?

7 good starters back on defense, 4/5 offensive lineman and the starting junior QB are back from a team that went 9-4. That’s usually where most teams expectations start. Look, if Williams doesn’t get better then no amount of portal additions would have helped. They could have brought in Nick Marsh to replace Boston, paid Mohammed to stay, gotten Seaton from Colorado to play LT, Raided the two edge players from Penn St. and grabbed the very best DT’s on the market but they still would have lost to Indiana and Oregon 14-3 or 17-7. It all rests in Demonds development or lack there of. He takes a step forward and UW has enough to be really good. He flatlines and UW wins 7-8 games again. It’s in the starting QBs hands like it always is. Does a UW with 12 guys drafted in 2023 win 14 games with Dylan Morris? No, they probably lose to Stanford, USC, Wazzu and Oregon State. It’s all about the QB.

As much as I may regret this, here are the first three (not necessarily the top as you asked) that came to mind.

Kodi Greene. Demond Williams (behind an improved OL). The portal punter.

Assuming, of course, Demond has not already torn the team apart.

Please provide links to where posters have said UW will win 11 games next year. I must've missed those posts.

I don't mind the exuberance. It does not seem entirely irrational. I've been a posiDawg (aka doog) for twenty five years or more so there is that.

If we're bashing DyMo I'm out!

I do agree about Demond. He is more of a lightning rod for this team than an average QB

For the record I trust the D and Walters. He earned it

Oline I'm not ready to crown any asses just yet but I'm ready to doog if they bully coug

Listing the punter legitimately made me laugh but I completely agree that will make a big difference. Greene I'm excited to see

I don't think people have been predicting 11 wins...but that's exactly the problem. Year 3 and Fisch has us wringing our hands over his side of the ball and hoping we can squeak in the playoffs at 10-2

We won 9 last year and we will have a better team this year. 9-3 or 10-2 regular season. 9-3 is probably more likely to most that don’t follow the program. In an early ranking we were ranked 18th which is 9-3 level.

Unless a program is more talented than others, it takes some luck to win 10, 11, 12 games.

You think Oklahoma and Alabama didn’t have some luck this year to win a couple close ones and make the playoffs?

The 2023 Husky team had fourth down stops and missed FG’s vs Oregon, the ASU near disaster, an ugly 2nd half vs Oregon State where we held on and the Coug game. A bunch of games could have went either way. The reality is, teams have to make big plays at clutch times, have the opponent fuck up, etc to jump from 8-9 win talent to the playoffs.

Nothing has changed with me. I’ve been saying we will be good for many months now. It’s not a terrible roster, it has more experience now, Fisch has improved year to year at both stops. I get questioning whether we will take another step, but a lot of this doom and gloom is loser bullshit.

Saying the team won't automatically be better because YOU say it will be isn't doom and gloom loser bullshit.

This team heavily relied on Boston for its offense. It's kind of alarming for an offensive coach. Didn't seem as though our scheme was challenging for other teams to shut down. Maybe that is on demond as he just played bad in every big game and missed throws.

Defense looks good but we still don't have game wreckers so it will be solid but not likely dominant in any way.

If williams improves and plays at a high level, the team definitely could win 10 games. But there are major question marks at WR/TE/RB making it hard to suggest a major leap let alone where you think demons is capable of it.

You lost me with “we will have a better team this year”. Hope you’re right but don’t see it.

The doogs have taken over, Mr. Maple Leaf. And when you have realized that's the situation, game over.

Case closed.
 
I don't understand how people think the team will be better next year. The offense looks like it'll be mediocre unless Demond grows 6 inches and learns how to go through progressions. And the WR's have a breakout star. And the unproven RB's show up. And DeGraaf doesn't get worse for a second straight year.

Defense...maybe Walters gets the benefit of the doubt, but I don't see how that side of the ball turns into anything special with zero pass rush and a bunch of backups as starters on the defensive line. Anybody who watched the playoffs should have to acknowledge that the vast majority of teams in there had lines on both sides of the ball that were at least two tiers above what UW has.

Are there supposed to be some true freshmen coming in and making a difference right away? I don't see that happening.
 
But I'm sure everyone in that Husky locker room respects and admires their QB1. There's no animosity or resentment whatsoever.

And great to have a coach like Fisch who understand it all. We? are so lucky to have him in charge!

The offense will be better. If literally everything goes to best case scenario. IF Demond gets better. IF the young guys develop. IF no one gets injured. IF the transfers are ok. IF IF IF IF

People can laugh all they want about specialists but UW upgraded in a big way with the punter and kicker. The 2016 Peach Bowl is seared in my memory when the Alabama punter flipped the field on UW over and over and over again. It really drilled home how important a great punter can be in football. Pair him with Walters defense in year two and it's a pretty fun combo to look forward to.
