That's what i've been wondering, ie, which huskies are heading to the portal. It's a good question and one we are not used to contemplating. I can't say I've seen any signs of dissension or unhappiness, but I'm just a fan looking from the outside. If anyone does signal their intention to leave, it could be a problem but more likely an opportunity. My prediction is Greeny snatches Bush(strong WSU ties) and maybe Bays who both have strong West Coast ties and probably want to stay in a reformulated PAC.

Bush and Bays going anywhere would be surprising to me.

UW --> WSU would be about as much of a 180 as you can get in terms of vibes. I'd be surprised if there were significant players transferring out from UW. Also, not sure whose stock would be high enough to go to a premier program apart from Bush, who is hurt? They would be better off getting redemption at UW.

My prediction is Greeny snatches Bush(strong WSU ties) and maybe Bays who both have strong West Coast ties and probably want to stay in a reformulated PAC. Bush is fairly academic, so doubtful she would leave UW before finishing her degree. For the same reason, if she left it would not be to wsu. For anyone to consider wsu, they would need to ignore that a "reformulated" Pac is really just some combination of Mountain West, WAC, and possibly Big Sky.

If she's been taking summer classes, she's been enrolled for 12 quarters -- probably close to graduating already this Fall, if not in Spring.

For years BYU did quite well for itself in one of those "lesser conferences".

BYU has substantial resources; WSU athletics had approx $100m in debt before the Pac collapse.

Google "Acquired Taste" and you'll see a picture of Pullman.

I was responding to a poster saying she wouldn't leave before finishing her degree, and noted that she's probably pretty damn close. but it sounds like you want to spill tea that Bush is going in the portal. If that's the tea, then say it.

I'll take a Greeny led program with a need for pins over a Tui led program any day, and given her daddy went to WSU I can see some influences there.
