Entering the portal doesn't nesssarily mean they are leaving. There's also the opportunity to gain players through the portal, see how it goes. You think they win four games? Okay, I'll take the over
On the whole, 16 scholarship Huskies have entered the transfer portal since the Michigan game. Tight end Tre Watson (Texas A&M) and cornerback Jaivion Green (Stanford) have found new homes, and standout corner Jabbar Muhammad will reportedly visit Texas and Alabama this week, with Washington out of the picture. Junior nickelback Dyson McCutcheon withdrew from the portal Tuesday, opting to return to UW.
That leaves 12 Huskies who new coach Jedd Fisch could conceivably reel back in: quarterbacks Will Rogers, Austin Mack and Will Haskell; offensive linemen Nate Kalepo, Parker Brailsford, Julius Buelow and Geirean Hatchett; safeties Asa Turner and Vincent Holmes; wide receiver Germie Bernard, nickelback Mishael Powell and linebacker Ethan Barr.
“This afternoon we’re going to sit down with the personnel guys that have been here before and go through, really, who’s in the portal, and what’s that look like depth chart-wise? What’s the team look like right now?” Fisch said Tuesday. “Who do we have that is interested in returning? And (we’ll) start meeting with them 1-on-1.
“I wanted to go out on the road recruiting tomorrow, but I think I’m better served to be here the next couple days and try to meet with everybody that’s on the team and in the portal, or on the team and thinking about going in the portal, and seeing if I can get a better idea of the how, the why and what we can do.”
