With the 2025 class nearly full and not many updates are flowing in regularly, Aaron and Luke take a look ahead to the 2026 class. They each compiled a list of 25 prospects (Luke cheated and did 26), averaged them out, and created their first take at a big board for 2026 prospects that UW is going after. There is a mix of very realistic and a few homerun longshots as well, to give everyone an introduction to the top prospects that the Huskies would love to add to their class.
