The one thing I'm concerned about with him is NIL management. His philosophy is to not pay high school kids as much as the players on the team. That will hurt with teams in the south being willing to pay as much as they are for talent. I'm hoping that philosophy is geared because of poor NIL support in Washington.

I agree with it completely. The kids working their butts off on your team need to get more than kids who haven't done anything yet, I just think other teams aren't using that philosophy.

That was a university of Washington philosophy. He will do what he needs to do to win. The guy isn’t going to undermine his ability to compete

Washington does not near the financial resources Alabama has. If I had to budget money as much as DeBoer had to, I would make proven players the priority too - current roster and good transfers. Washington had 1 five star from high school. I'll be DeBoer gets more here.
