After WR Dontay Tyson flipped from Washington to Wisconsin over the weekend, the Dawgs also lost their QB commit from the class yesterday. Christian Caple has more details on Roskopf's decisions and the implications.
It wasn't so long ago that Trent McDuffie dominated one side of the defensive backfield for the Huskies, but the changes to college sports in the intervening years make it feel like it was several generations ago. He specifically talked about the regional influence and rivalries that grew out of it.
It's hard to argue with McDuffie, but it's also hard to imagine any alternative given the increasing primacy of revenue generation in the sport. Arizona QB Blake Roskopf announced that he would reopen his commitment.
McDuffie echoed those thoughts in a radio interview, where he talked about how much he misses the Pac-12. Both receiver and QB talked to the media yesterday about what allowed them to finally break through against a stingy Nebraska defense.
KEY POINTS
- And I don’t own the Dots I’m wearingAnd the road goes on foreverAnd I’ve got one more silver dollar Just when it seemed like Jedd Fisch had Washington's season back on track, some losses on the recruiting trail have sapped that positive energy.
- On a more positive note, the Huskies got their signature road win of the season last week due to the contributions of Chris Lawson and the returning Demond Williams.
- The development raises the question of whether Fisch has pivoted in his philosophy of building through high school recruits and if the Dawgs will try to build the QB room increasingly through the transfer portal.
- On the negative side, the #6 team in the country dropped a tough road game 1-0 against #25 UCLA.
