Dawgman Radio

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - hit on a number of topics that came out of UW's 90-minute scrimmage, held Saturday night in front of roughly 1000 fans inside Husky Stadium. Among the topics discussed: Was the offense bad? And if so, does that mean the defense was good? And how much can you actually take from a scrimmage where basically every single play was scripted?  The left guard battle between John Mills and Paki Finau. The receiver depth, including the two true frosh that led them in catches Saturday night (Dezmen Roebuck and Raiden Vines-Bright). The emergence of Kade Eldridge and bringing back the fullback. The two interceptions forced by true freshmen Dylan Robinson and Rylon Dillard-Allen. Would they have both been 40-yard pick-sixes in an actual game? Some bright spots for the offense in the red zone? Plenty of Special Teams work.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds and Scott Eklund - were at Washington's 13th fall practice early Friday morning, held inside the Dempsey due to rainy skies. With Jedd Fisch and the UW coaches now firmly in 'game week' mode, the practice was more of a one where the Huskies did their work in shoulder pads and shorts, working on cleaning things up and installing more things UW fans can expect to see Saturday night during their second 'mock game' of fall camp. They talked about what they saw on both sides of the line of scrimmage, but three main storylines on offense caught a lot of their attention. The first was the return of Denzel Boston was a focal point, as was the return of another receiver, Dezmen Roebuck, who missed Thursday's practice. The second storyline; how much will Roebuck play this year? Is he a certainly to burn his redshirt? And the other storyline that has certainly developed over the course of fall is the battle at left guard between Paki Finau and John Mills. The redshirt frosh had the job at the end of spring, but the true freshman Mills has continued to just get better and better by the practice to where it's now basically a dead heat between the two. The battle has been at a point now where the coaches alternate series between Finau and Mills with the first team. And an additional subplot; who makes up the full 8-man rotation? The guys feel good about the first six (the four constant starters plus Finau/Mills) but who are shoe-ins for those other two slots? All the competition is simply showing the Huskies are in a great spot heading into Saturday's mock game, even if today's practice was the 13th. And even if it did take place on a Friday.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Jack McCauley and Luke Mounger unveil their first podcast under a new name, Mac and Mounger, for the 2025 season. In this 33-minute collaboration, the Dawgman lifelong interns share their rankings of each position group as the Washington Husky Football team prepares for their second year under Jedd Fisch. They swear they didn't share their lists before recording; however, their lists are eerily similar with a few discrepancies that spark debate. Nevertheless, Jack and Luke unpack the depth, upside, and star power the Dawgs bring to the table at each spot. Throughout this season, Jack and Luke will have a weekly podcast underscoring storylines for the week. Also, they will have three recurring segments: Bets to Bark - one player from each side of the ball to pop in the upcoming game. Betting B1G - three of their favorite plays for that week in B1G football. Confidence Interval - their level of confidence that the Washington Huskies will win that weekend's football game.

Washington Head Coach Jedd Fisch, and even Denzel Boston himself, said that he was going to be returning on Thursday to full work, and that's exactly what happened. The 6-foot-4 junior receiver was in full pads with the rest of his Husky teammates and he sparked the offense to a much better showing than they've had all week to date. The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - talked about Boston's return in their daily post-practice podcast, as well as some of the other receivers that showed up. There were some players missing today too that hadn't missed any of fall camp to date, players like Dezmen Roebuck, Logan Sagapolu, Anthony Ward, and Tacario Davis. Were they just given the day off to rest and recover, or is something else going on? No matter what the reason, there were a number of players that stepped up in their place and make their own case for playing time. For example, with no Davis, that meant true freshman Dylan Robinson was asked to take first-team reps alongside Ephesians Prysock, and Robinson came up with the only takeaway of the day. And Anthony Ward wasn't available today, paving the way for true freshman Donovan Robinson to get his reps with the second team alongside Xe'Ree Alexander. With no Roebuck, that allowed other younger receivers like Justice Williams and Luke Gayton to get more turns, and they took full advantage as they both scored touchdowns. There was also a practice-ending field goal session from 57-yards out, the longest any of us could ever remember those kicks being tried. Both Grady Gross and Ethan Moczulski made at least one from that distance.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds and Chris Fetters - were at the east field Wednesday to watch Day 11 of fall camp for the Washington Huskies, and it felt a lot more like the normal give and take we've seen before Tuesday's practice that was dominated by the defense. That doesn't mean the defense didn't get their licks in; they did. They were able to force a few turnovers, something that has to please new Huskies DC Ryan Walters. Kim and Chris talked about the defense getting theirs while the offense got back in the swing of things mainly through their receivers - Raiden Vines-Bright, Rashid Williams, Omari Evans, and Audric Harris chief among them. And Decker DeGraaf once again showed the world why he should be taken seriously as a deeper threat despite being a tight end. And the battle at left guard between Paki Finau and true freshman John Mills has been fully joined as both were splitting time equally with the ones and twos. And defensively, even though the shoulder pads and shorts practice was done mostly in thud tempo during the team periods, there were still some touch sacks and activity around the line of scrimmage that made life tougher for Demond Williams and Kai Horton. Ephesians Prysock, Vincent Holmes, and Makell Esteen all came up with thefts today, Esteen's taking place during an install period when he was going up against Dash Beierly and the scout team. And Alex McLaughlin continues to establish himself as a safety to be reckoned with.  And special teams gets a note too, as Luke Dunne had a period where he skied some knuckle punts at Denzel Boston and Kevin Green, and the knuckle action definitely got the best of Green on at least one rep.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - were at Washington's Day 10 practice (Day 11 if you count Sunday's walkthrough) on Tuesday under sweltering Seattle skies. And for whatever reason, the Huskies' Offense just wasn't really on the same page for all of the nearly 150-minute practice. Maybe it was the heat, maybe it was just getting back to work in full pads after a three-hour practice/scrimmage on Saturday night, maybe it's because UW is truly now in the Dawg Days of fall camp... either way, the defense definitely looked the sharper. Jedd Fisch said one of the takeaways from Saturday's scrimmage was there there weren't any takeaways, but that definitely changed today. Tacario Davis had two interceptions and Makell Esteen one, as the senior safety was back at work after taking the scrimmage off. It was also good to see Geirean Hatchett back and fully participating after having a bit of a scare during Saturday's scrimmage. And it wasn't all doom and gloom for the offense; Audric Harris, Chris Lawson, and Rashid Williams all had moments on Tuesday that they'll build on. But generally-speaking there were just too many drops and too many plays made by the defense on a day where the team periods were designed to get the ball in the air.

A lot was going on Saturday night in Seattle, but for those die-hard Dawg fans who jonesing for some football? They were treated to a long scrimmage inside Husky Stadium, one that UW Head Coach Jedd Fisch lasted roughly 120 plays, as well as 20 or so special teams plays. The guys from Dawgman.com - Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund - were on hand to watch all of it from the beginning warmup to the practice-ending gassers, and they talked about their highlights during this 40-minute review podcast. The main talking point of the night was the apparent injury to right guard Geirean Hatchett. He was able to walk off the field with some help, and later came back putting weight on both feet without issue. Fisch told the assembled media after practice that they think there's nothing to be concerned about long-term for Geirean, so that's fantastic news. But that certainly put the guard rotation into a bit of a mix for the true freshmen - John Mills and Champ Taulealea - as well as redshirt freshman Paki Finau. Chris and Scott went through the players they thought stood out on the night on both sides of the ball, players that they both ended up agreeing on and also gave their thoughts on some of the linemen on both sides of the ball that had really good moments during a scrimmage that was, at times live to the ground but mostly 'thud' tempo. After a quick break they moved to the special teams, where fans got to see a lot of both Grady Gross kicking and Oregon transfer Luke Dunne punting. The guys also talked about their picks for who might end up being the main punt and kick returners for the Huskies based on what they saw. Chris rolled through the main (and very unofficial) offensive stats that he took during the scrimmage, and then the guys talked about the true frosh they expect will burn their redshirts because they've already shown that the coaches won't be able to keep them off the field.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - broke down their thoughts from a spirited Day 8 of fall camp, held under beautiful Friday Seattle skies completely on the east field next to Husky Stadium. The guys started today's podcast with a bit of a look forward to Saturday night's scrimmage. And offensively, a couple of the younger receivers had big days that they talked about. Who has Demond found the most in camp so far? Moving to the defensive side, as it has been all week long starting with true freshman safety Rylon Dillard-Allen starting bits with receivers like Kevin Green and Omari Evans, today it was receiver Chris Lawson that was happy to take up the baton and figuratively shove it in Ramonz Adams' face. Adams retaliated, some of the freshmen linemen intervened, and just like that - practice was over. Vincent Holmes also engaged in a little something that got an immediate retaliation from some of the offensive linemen. It was good to see Lawson back with a full day of practice under his belt after spending almost all of camp up to this point doing half of practice with the team and the other half conditioning. To finish off the podcast, the guys talked about the special teams work being done, the person of new Special Teams Coordinator Chris Petrilli, how he got to Montlake, and more.

The weather may not have been conducive to a productive practice, but that's why Washington has an indoor facility. So the Huskies moved inside on Thursday to the Dempsey to take part in Day 7 of fall camp. And while the first part of practice was very quiet and business-like, as soon as the horn sounded for that first team scrimmage period, the intensity went way up, as did the hitting. The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - broke down what they saw during a day where both the offense and defense got their licks in during a day where more scrimmaging took place than during the previous days. To start, the guys naturally went to the offensive side of the ball, focusing first on the offensive line. True frosh John Mills is getting more time at the ones and the battle between him and Paki Finau has truly been joined. There was some really good work by the tight ends today, especially USC transfer Kade Eldridge, and with Marcus Harris, Kevin Green, and Raiden Vines-Bright not available there were a couple receivers that really took advantage of their turns, namely Dezmen Roebuck and Justice Williams. After a quick break the guys then focus their attentions toward the defense. And who else could it be but freshman safety Rylon Dillard-Allen? Batman once again made waves by getting into it with another offensive lineman, this time it was Drew Azzopardi, after RDA unceremoniously dumped one of the receivers to the turf. He has shown to play on that razor's edge for a few days now, and even the NFL scouts on hand were paying attention to it. Another defensive back that stood out was NAU transfer Alex McLaughlin, whose day was highlighted by a TFL on Adam Mohammed and a pick where he had to display his cat-quick reflexes to bring in a pass that was wildly deflected to the middle of the field. Michigan transfer Hayden Moore moved from ILB to EDGE during spring and he's really starting to emerge as a player the coaches want a good look at this fall. With Zach Durfee unavailable today for some reason, it allowed Moore even more turns to prove his worth and he's definitely taking advantage of his opportunities. The guys also saw live punting for the first time all camp and they talked a little bit about what they saw from Oregon transfer Luke Dunne, what he's being asked to do by Special Teams Coordinator Chris Petrilli, and how well he pulled it off. Before the guys' final thoughts, Kim talked a bit about hoops, as the men had another media day with Danny Sprinkle, Quimari Peterson, Jacob Ognacevic, and Franck Kepnang. He relayed some of the things Sprinkle talked about (full quotes will be available later tonight), and he also provided a funny anecdote about Peterson and a potential new nickname.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - were on hand Tuesday morning to watch the Washington Huskies go through their first full pads practice of fall camp, and it was a long one, well over two-and-a-half hours long. Talk started, as it always does, with the offensive side of the ball, and there were definitely some changes with the full pads coming on. John Mills ramped up his work at the one left guard spot (Paki Finau is still the number one LG), while true freshmen like Dezmen Roebuck and Quaid Carr continued to get more and more turns during the substantial team scrimmage periods that took place. After a quick break the talk turned to the defensive side of the ball, and it was once again true frosh safety Rylon Dillard-Allen that generated most of the conversation. He was involved in the first major dust-up of camp, one that initially took place between him and left tackle Carver Willis after Willis took exception to RDA planting receiver Kevin Green to the turf. When Green got up he made a beeline right toward RDA and the gloves were literally off, as were the helmets. It only took a few seconds for cooler heads to prevail, but considering Green and Dillard-Allen had a bit of a skirmish the day before it wasn't necessarily surprising that things might boil over once the two were in full pads. The guys then talked about the defensive line, guys getting some more run, and also the other true freshmen that are getting more and more turns like cornerback Dylan Robinson, linebacker Donovan Robinson, and EDGE Devin Hyde.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - took in day five of fall camp, held mostly on the east field until the final team periods of competition, and while the jawing had starting out on the practice field, the intensity of the competition ramped up quite a bit once inside the Greatest Setting. There were a number of players that stood out during the final scrimmage periods - and UW Head Coach Jedd Fisch confirmed that the team will go full pads for the first time all fall camp starting Tuesday - starting with tight end Decker DeGraaf, receivers Kevin Green and Raiden Vines-Bright, and some of the offensive linemen like Drew Azzopardi and John Mills. After a quick break the talk turned to the defensive side of the ball and how competitive players like Leroy Bryant, Rylon Dillard-Allen, and Alex McLaughlin have been so far. We fully expect that competitiveness to continue to grow as the players go full pads. They also talked about the DB and DL rotations, as the Huskies have plenty of bodies to roll in and out for whatever situations come up. To finish the guys give their overall thoughts on practice, especially how the idea of brotherhood and togetherness remains despite the fierce competition that's happening on the field.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - were on hand on Montlake Sunday morning to see what the Washington Huskies were up to on Day 4 of fall camp. The competition definitely heated up Friday and that trend continued Sunday in front of a lot of friends and family members. In fact, while most of the practice happened on the east field, the last third took place inside Husky Stadium and was almost all scrimmaging except for one special teams period. The team was in shells and shorts today, so no one was getting tackled and they were doing their best to keep teammates off the ground, but that didn't stop head coach Jedd Fisch from getting after his guys a couple times about knocking players to the ground. The player that seemed to stand out above all others was quarterback Demond Williams. With so many 11-on-11 plays to be had, the sophomore signal caller got a lot of chances to show off his arm and legs, both to a rousing success. There were also some other outstanding performances on offense, including true freshman Raiden Vines-Bright, who continues to impress. We were also able to see the frosh and some other younger players that have been mostly doing scout duty to line up against each other at the very end of practice. After a quick break the talk naturally turns to the other side of the ball, where players like Elinneus Davis and Zach Durfee are letting their presence be known, as well as Arizona transfer Tacario Davis, who came back to make a great diving tip against receiver Rashid Williams right after Williams had connected with Demond Williams for a touchdown.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - got together after day three of fall camp to break down what they saw, and what they saw was a lot of competition. There was one-on-ones, 7-on-7, and full team competitions mixed with the normal periods where they focused on individual and special teams work. To start, the guys focus their attention on the offensive side of the ball, where Demond Williams clearly showed he's the leader of this year's attack. The running backs, led by Jonah Coleman, were also featured today in a few different scenarios, and he continues to show his improvement as a pass-catcher, as well as his extra explosiveness. They also talk about the offensive line, is there much of a competition now that the places in the two deeps have been pretty solid for most of spring and moving now into fall, and just how much improvement on the line should be expected by fans? After a quick break, the guys move to the other side of the ball. Anterio Thompson continues to rip things up on the defensive line, and there's plenty of other linemen right behind him having a strong start to fall. It's a little harder to gauge on the edges, but is this where we'll see Ryan Walters help them out via scheme? And just how much bigger has Xe'ree Alexander gotten since spring? He definitely looks bigger. And both true frosh Donovan Robinson and Zaydrius Rainey-Sale look the part for being so young. How much will they play this year? And the same could be said of another true frosh, Dylan Robinson? Is he already the heir apparent to Ephesians Prysock and Tacario Davis looking ahead to 2026? And Kim poses the question; which two true freshmen do Chris and Scott see burning their redshirts?

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds and Chris Fetters - pulled some double-duty Thursday on Montlake. Kim handled the men's basketball media day while Chris watched the football team go through their paces on day two of fall camp. To start with, the guys talk about the football practice, which was very similar to Wednesday's day one workout. There was no competition, a heavy focus on fundamentals on both sides of the ball and also a ton of special teams work. They went through some of the standouts first on the offensive side of the ball, including younger players like Adam Mohammed, Dezmen Roebuck, and Raiden Vines-Bright, as well as the full offensive line two-deeps. Then they switched it up and talked about some of the defensive standouts, as well as updates on those players that have been using these first two days to be half-practicing and half-conditioning. Players like Jacob Manu, Zaydrius Rainey-Sale, Denzel Boston, Quentin Moore, Deshawn Lynch, Jayvon Parker, Armon Parker, and more. And finally in the first segment the guys were hit with the awful news that former UW and longtime Pac-10 and Pac-12 Offensive Line Coach Dan Cozzetto passed away. Kim and Chris offered up their best Coz stories during his time on Montlake; he will be sorely missed by those that got a chance to get to know him. Then after a quick break the talk turned to hoops and today's media day, which included a press briefing with UW Head Coach Danny Sprinkle, and also some of the new players like freshman PG JJ Mandaquit and freshman forward Hannes Steinbach, who competed against each other recently in Switzerland for the FIBA World Cup crown, eventually won by the United States over Germany in the final. Kim offered his thoughts on the conversations he had with Sprinkle and the players, as well as what he saw during the open workout period this morning in Hec Ed. A LOT of great insight here on Washington's new team as Kim broke down his thoughts on basically every player he saw, and they are definitely a new team compared to last season.

It was a rare start to fall camp, in fact it's something we really haven't seen before. There was literally no 11-11 competition at all during day one of Washington's fall camp, held Wednesday morning inside Husky Stadium. What took place was mostly individual drills for each position group, as well as plenty of special teams work as the Huskies won't get into full pads for a few more workouts. It did allow the guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - time to really watch the team run and jump around, as well as get their first opportunity at seeing the players that enrolled in June. To start the post-practice podcast, the guys talk about the news that Ryan Otton is medically redshirting. This shouldn't come as big news to hardcore UW fans, as the former Tumwater star and younger brother of Cade Otton played in just two games in three seasons. He simply couldn't get healthy and/or stay healthy, and so a medical retirement definitely felt like it was on the cards. UW Head Coach Jedd Fisch also announced that quarterback Shea Kuykendall is redshirting the 2025 season and will stay on as a student assistant. How does that change the makeup of the QB room? Does it mean the freshmen quarterbacks move up, or had they already passed Kuykendall the depth chart by the end of spring? After some talk about the offensive players that stood out, the guys then turn their attention to the defensive side of the ball, including talk on a couple players that were talked about a lot during Tuesday's media day - defensive back Rahshawn Clark and defensive lineman Anterio Thompson. The guys also talked about the move of true frosh Donovan Robinson to linebacker. Scott provided a quick recruiting update and Kim previewed Thursday's UW Men's Basketball Media Day, as the Dawgman guys will be pulling double duty tomorrow.

Dawgman.com's Kim Grinolds was at Big Ten Media Days this week and he was able to catch up with current CBS media personality and former Washington Head Coach Rick Neuheisel for a look back at his time on Montlake, including the teams and players that he coached. They talked about the 2000 Rose Bowl season that was filled with what Neuheisel called 'really high highs' and then 'knocked back down to sea level' with Curtis Williams' injury. He also shared stories and anecdotes with Kim on the following UW players, coaches and department personnel: Roc Alexander, Cody Pickett, Jeremiah Pharms, Wil Hooks, Willie Hurst, Hakim and Mikal Akbar, Marques Tuiasosopo, Jerramy Stevens, John Anderson, Todd Elstrom, Paul Arnold, Anthony Vontoure, Derrell Daniels, Jimmy Newell, Chris Massey, Sam Blanche, Nick Olszewski, Ben Mahdavi, Spencer Marona, Pat Conniff, Anthony Kelley, Steve Axman, Claudine Low, and Tank (Terry) Johnson, who was involved in finding a kidney donor for Nate Robinson. And Rick definitely had a story or two about Nate! To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund - got together to put a bow on Washington's June recruiting efforts and offer some best guesses on if the Huskies are going to get any commitments in the next few weeks heading into fall camp. To start, they recapped the last recruiting visit weekend where UW hosted 7 recruits - Kodi Greene, Davon Benjamin, Ansu Sanoe, Pulelei'ite Primus, Ksani Jiles, Elijah Durr, and Rahsjon Duncan. Only three - Benjamin, Primus, and Duncan - are currently uncommitted while the rest are committed to UW. How did the weekend go in terms of gaining any new commitments? Chris used 247Sports' Recruiting Class Calculator to project out a potential scenario given the current uncommitted recruits that have taken official visits to UW. That list, as it currently stands, would put the Huskies at 23 verbal commitments. Is that scenario a reasonable one? And could the Huskies get some players that took official visits to Montlake but committed to other schools to flip their commitments toward UW? The guys also talked about how well the coaches have done so far in addressing position needs. To finish out the 55-minute recruiting podcast, Scott offers his best guess as to whether or not UW will earn any commitments during the month of July, typically the last month to make decisions for prospects who want to make their decisions public before their senior seasons start. And will they all be currently uncommitted players? Or will the coaches be able to entice a prospect or two to change their commitments in favor of the Huskies?

Dawgman.com's Kim Grinolds took some time this week to catch up with Joe Knight, Executive Director of Dawgs Unleashed, the internal arm of the Washington Athletic Department that serves as an influencer marketing and NIL agency to increase revenue opportunities and business partnerships within the shifting landscape of collegiate athletics. In short? They act as the matchmaker between Washington's student-athletes and opportunities to help maximize their NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) rights. With the House settlement being signed off and agreed to as of June 6th, it means schools will now be able to pay their student-athletes directly. So now the UW student-athletes have two ways to make money; through the school's revenue sharing (which will be done for players playing football, basketball, softball and volleyball per UW AD Pat Chun) and through their NIL opportunities. And that's where Knight and his staff step in to help navigate the UW student-athletes through this new landscape. To start the podcast, Kim asked Joe to broadly define what Dawgs Unleashed will be doing, how they will work with UW's main donor collective - Montlake Futures - and what UW fans who are currently donating to Montlake Futures should expect moving forward as the collective's role is reduced and the role of creating NIL opportunities moves in-house. Joe also talks about what fans and donors can do if they want to get UW student-athletes involved with personal or corporate NIL opportunities.  And how is UW uniquely positioned to take advantage of their potential NIL marketplace within Seattle? Joe talks about that, as well as how important the new media marketing right deal struck with Learfield will help UW student-athletes in terms of generating additional NIL opportunities, and also clears up any confusion about what UW can do for true freshmen enrolling now and how the revenue sharing will look going forward. Is it true that a quarterback could make more than a kicker? It's clear that Jedd Fisch's 'Be A Pro' mantra extends into the realm of revenue share, but what will that mean in terms of dollars and cents for the players involved?  There is a lot to chew on here and Kim offers up some real-world examples that Joe expands on and offers clarity on. There's still so much that is brand-new in this post-House world regarding revenue sharing, NIL opportunities, and what will be kosher in terms of contracts that have to now go through the NIL Go clearinghouse. Are there multi-year NIL deals that have already been signed? For example, if they signed a two-year deal last year, does the second year of the deal now have to go through the NIL Go clearinghouse?  As we're already seeing and as should have been expected, legal challenges are already taking place.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund - were back on the mic this morning to preview this weekend's last big set of official visits for June, as well as talk about Washington's newest commitment - cornerback Jeron Jones - and also talk a little bit about a couple of top UW recruiting targets that are expected to make their college decisions very soon - O'Dea DL David Schwerzel and EDGE Tristian Givens. To start, the guys talk about the commitment of Jones, a four-star corner from Mission Viejo, Calif. and what his commitment means for the defensive back room, as well as how his pledge might impact others - namely Davon Benjamin from Oaks Christian, who is officially visiting Montlake this weekend. That segues perfectly into talking about the players that are expected to officially visit UW starting Friday. The full list can be found HERE. There's already been one name taken off and one added, so could there be more changes before Friday? After a quick break, Scott talks about the 7-on and 5-on camps he attended Wednesday at Husky Stadium, tournaments that allowed him to see a couple of 2026 UW commits up close and personal; Puyallup OL Ah Deong Yang and Kennedy Catholic DL Derek Colman-Brusa. He also talked about a number of the 2027, 2028, and 2029 players that were also participating, including some that already have offers from the Huskies. Chris and Scott then talk about the early standout performance of 2026 QB commit Derek Zammit at the prestigious Elite 11 competition in Los Angeles, one that saw Zammit fifth overall after day one.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund - are back to talk about the second half of June and how the Washington Huskies are poised to attack the rest of the planned official visits. To start, Scott opines on whether or not the Huskies can actually put together their best recruiting class ever. Currently UW stands at 15th overall in the 247Sports' team recruiting rankings. What will it take for them to finish in record-setting fashion? Then the guys talk about the three recent verbal commitments - TE Sam Vyhlidal, RB/WR Dre Pollard, and WR Mason James. The first two are great examples of how recruiting can come together very quickly, and James is the archetype example of how a typical recruitment goes for a top prospect from start to finish. After a quick break the guys move on to the Huskies' next recruiting weekend, which will be next weekend. Because of commencement happening this weekend and a dead period starting on Monday the 23rd, the weekend of the 20th is the last time in June the Huskies will have a chance to bring prospects in on official visits. Right now, eight players are listed. As Scott details, that number should change before the weekend starts as some currently listed may not come to Montlake and UW could definitely add others to try and finish things off on the right foot. To finish out the podcast, Scott talks about the currently uncommitted players, as well as players committed to other schools that have visited Washington, that could end up Huskies and deliver on his plan to have UW's best recruiting class ever.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund - put a bit of a wrap on what turned out to be a highly successful weekend of official visits to Montlake for the Washington Huskies, and we expect even more news to come out in the coming days. To start, Scott gave his thoughts on the two players that gave Washington their verbal commitments over the weekend after their official visits - offensive lineman Dominic Harris and defensive back Gavin Day. Both are from Las Vegas and they weren't the only ones to visit from Sin City, as Harris was joined by Clark High teammate Dre Pollard, an athlete that can play either receiver or defensive back at the next level. And what about the makeup of visitors? Some were from in-state, some were already committed to UW, and some were official visitors already verbally committed to other schools, like Vance Spafford (Georgia), Madden Williams (Texas A&M), and Daniel Odom (Oklahoma). Going into some specific storylines, Chris asked Scott for his take on the recruitment of O'Dea DL David Schwerzel, as well as UW legacy athlete Derrick Johnson II. And then there were a couple of very highly rated prospects that visited Montlake in ATH Brandon Arrington and EDGE Landon Barnes. In Scott's estimation, how did UW do in getting those two to think about the Huskies as a serious player in their recruitment? And of the players already committed to other schools, who does Scott think is the one most likely to flip to UW? Scott also offers up his opinion when Chris asks about an under-the-radar visitor that he feels is being slept on in terms of his overall recruitment. Before finishing up the recruiting podcast, Scott previews the list of prospects expected to officially visit Washington this coming weekend and an update on the number of signees he expects UW to target for the 2026 class. A reminder: Dawgman.com is currently running a steal of a deal - SIXTY percent off a yearly subscription. And if you are a current monthly user, you can upgrade to a yearly subscription using this offer.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - were at Husky Stadium Friday night to watch the Washington Huskies go through their 15th and final spring practice, one they call 'Dawgs After Dark'. It was a full tackle scrimmage that lasted roughly two hours and about 85-90 plays, according to Washington Head Coach Jedd Fisch. He split the teams up, ran the number one and number two quarterbacks out there for the first half, and then the backup quarterbacks did the same for the second half. In the first half of the recap podcast, the guys broke down what they saw on offense, specifically from true freshman receiver Raiden Vines-Bright. RVB unofficially caught 8 passes for 131 yards and one touchdown, dwarfing the production from the rest of the receiver group combined. After a quick break, the talk turned to the defensive side and two players were singled out not just for how they played Friday night, but all spring; EDGE Jacob Lane and CB Rahshawn Clark. Scott gave an update on the prospects that were at the Spring Game (you can see the full list HERE), and also provided a quick note on what the coaches are going to be doing in recruiting now that spring football is over (hint: it involves a lot of frequent flyer miles).

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, Scott Eklund, and intern Jakob Spielholz - talk about what they saw on Day 13 of UW Spring Football, and there wasn't much to report on during their two hour workout inside the Dempsey Indoor Facility on Monday afternoon. It was the shortest practice of the spring to date, and Wednesday's practice will likely be about as long as the team cleans things up and prepares like they would for a game, which is obviously happening Friday night. The guys did have some observations, and Scott breaks down who he thinks is going to have the most carries, most catches, and most tackles during 'Dawgs After Dark'. After a quick break the talk turns to recruiting, where Scott offers his thoughts on how things went with this past weekend's official visitors. And that conversation turned into a bit of a stroll down Amnesia Lane, complete with some old recruiting war stories.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, Scott Eklund, and intern Jakob Spielholz - had a lot to talk about after the Washington Huskies went through a very long Saturday scrimmage under a beautiful spring Seattle sky, a scrimmage that was roughly around 120 plays in all different types of scenarios. From goal line to red zone, to coming out of the end zone, to overtime, to 2-minute - the Huskies covered a lot of ground. Who stood out? Was the offense able to continue to make headroom, or was the defense once again the side of the ball that showed the most dominance? There were some standout performances, and we go through all of the ones that we saw, and on both sides. Because it was a scrimmage and the defense was tackling, there was some things to definitely talk about in terms of the running game.  After a quick break, the talk turned to recruiting and Scott offered up a quick update on all the prospects that he saw. The Huskies are hosting four official visitors this weekend - RB Brian Bonner, OL Sam Utu, OL Aaron Thomas, and WR Denairius Gray. There were also a number of unofficial visitors on hand, and Scott talks about them too.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - were out on the east field next to Husky Stadium on another glorious Chamber-of-Commerce day in Seattle, this time for Day 11 of Washington's spring football campaign. What did they see? Did they see the offense take some steps toward evening things up in their never-ending battle with the defense? Some of the things that were scripted for practice, like red zone and goal-line situations, should favor the offense, and they were able to take advantage of some things. With Rashid Williams not participating today, it was time for other receivers to step up and be heard. And a couple of them made their return to some team periods, namely Penn State transfer Omari Evans and true freshman Raiden Vines-Bright. On defense, it was Arizona transfer CB Tacario Davis that made his triumphant return to the team periods. The guys talk about their returns and how successful they were in quickly getting back into the swing of things. Scott also provided his take on the biggest news of the day, the flip of top 2026 OL Kodi Greene from Oregon to Washington. Was it expected? Will the former Eastside Catholic lineman stay committed all the way to Signing Day in December? And will his commitment spur on a number of other players to commit to Washington, especially knowing the Huskies have a host of official visitors coming in this weekend?

It was a picture perfect day in the Emerald City as the Washington Huskies got after it on Day 10 of their spring football campaign. The guys from Dawgman.com - Scott Eklund and Chris Fetters - offered up their thoughts on a day where the players weren't in full pads - just shells and shorts - and they were coming off a 110-play scrimmage just two days prior. That meant a ton of cleanup work, more install for the offense and defense, and also a chance for some of the players that haven't been able to scrimmage - like Denzel Boston and Omari Evans on offense and Ephesians Prysock and Tacario Davis on defense - to run around a bunch and get back to doing some actual football. The highlight of the day was the final team period, one where the offense was given 80 seconds to go the length of the field. They had to score, as the defense was ahead 26-21. The number-one offense, led by Demond Williams, got all the way to the 5-yard line with 1 second left on the clock but couldn't find the end zone on their final play. The second team, however, found success through a Kai Horton pass to a diving Jace Burton in the corner of the end zone over safety CJ Christian. The entire offense went nuts and sprinted over to Burton to celebrate the big play. Scott and Chris talked about the ending team period, as well as a couple players on both sides of the ball that stood out to them during the day. They also remarked on some of the things that caught their eye during the individual periods. Those periods are a great time to watch the coaches really get to work on proper technique. Scott gave an update on the one recruit that was at practice today - 2027 Puyallup OL Gecova Doyal - before finishing the podcast with their final thoughts.

Washington wrapped up their third week of spring football with a full two-hour-plus practice on the field at Huskies Stadium that included nearly 110 plays, according to UW Head Coach Jedd Fisch. It was a productive day for the team with a lot of players on both sides of the ball making some plays.  The guys talked about some of the big plays that occurred, including the 35-yard, diving, finger-tip grab by Rashid Williams as well as an interception by Rahshawn Clark. Clark has been one of the standouts for the Huskies thus far this spring, hauling in at least six interceptions. OLB Jacob Lane was another player that continues to stand out on defense, while it was really good to see tight end Quentin Moore get more and more turns as he continues his push back to the top of the tight end depth chart.  In the second part of the podcast, the guys delve into the news that cornerback Caleb Presley has decided to enter the transfer portal and what that means for the position especially since assumed starters Ephesians Prysock and Tacario Davis are limited for spring.  To finish up the podcast, Scott rolled through the prospects that were on campus today to watch practice, as well as his thoughts on Washington's newest 2026 commitment, QB Derek Zammit from New Jersey.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - had a little bit of a debate over which side of the football had the best of it on Day 8. One thought it was a day for the offense, while the other two thought the defense was still on top as they have been for all of spring ball. The main talk in the first half of the recap pod was about the offense, and especially the receivers and running backs. And then after a quick break they moved over to the defensive side of the ball to talk about some of their standout performers. Scott then offered a quick update on who the Huskies are planning to host this weekend for unofficial visits to coincide with Saturday morning's practice, and then talk turned to the transfer portal. Only long snapper Cameron Warchuck has publicly put his name in; we expect to see more before the portal window closes on April 25. It means a lot of UW players that are unsure about their future will be faced with making a decision without as much information as they would like, considering spring football doesn't end at Washington until May 2. And, as Scott reveals, there's another aspect to the portal and those potentially entering it that may throw an unforeseen wrench into the whole works.

Dawgman.com's Jack McCauley was joined this week by former UW Hoopers Noah Dickerson and Jason Crandall to offer up their thoughts on how Washington has attacked the offseason and how successful Danny Sprinkle has been to date in terms of upgrading talent and balance between the front court and back court. It has been a while since the end of the season, and we'll talk about portal additions that've been made and also some potential portal targets in a little bit, but first there's some talk about last season, including their overall thoughts and what went wrong. The guys then transition into the offseason and the team addressing needs via the transfer portal window, which opened up roughly three weeks ago. They talk about some of the additions, including Lathan Sommerville from Rutgers, Quimari Peterson from East Tennessee State, Hannes Steinbach, a forward from Germany, and then the return of shooting guard/wing Wesley Yates. After a quick break the guys then go into remaining needs, and the targets that have been publicly talked about so far, including Darrion Williams from Texas Tech, Cedric Coward from Washington State, Jacob Dar from Rice, and Bradley Ezewiro from UAB. Then they ponder the question: If you were Danny Sprinkle, would you take another big? And then to wrap up this 50-minute portal update pod, the guys offer up their Way Too Early starting five for the 2025-26 season. NOTE: Jack's connection ended up dropping out a couple of times over the course of recording the podcast. We've tried to knit together things to make the conversation run as smoothly as possible, but we apologize for the dropouts and any possible confusion.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Scott Eklund and Chris Fetters - got together to offer their thoughts after Day 7 of UW spring football. It was a day for the purists as the Huskies went through a 2.5 hour practice under beautiful Seattle spring skies. There wasn't much to chew on from a fan's perspective as there was a ton of individual work and installation on both the offensive and defensive sides, but the team saved their best work for the last half hour of practice. It was there where they went through a two-minute drill for the both the first and second teams, and the offense was able to score both times. Scott and Chris talk about what they saw during those two-minute drills, including standouts on both sides of the line of scrimmage. For the offense it was freshman receiver Chris Lawson, and for the defense it was defensive backs Rahshawn Clark and Caleb Presley. After a quick break the talk turns to the offense, specifically the offensive line and how they lined up today. There were a few tweaks to the basic lineup Michael Switzer has been using for his number and number two lines, and two true freshmen - John Mills and Champ Taulealea - featured in those tweaks. To finish the podcast out, Scott breaks down the news that 247Sports entered in a couple of crystal balls for Washington earlier Tuesday. The prospect? 2026 QB Derek Zammit from DePaul Catholic HS in Wayne, NJ. Zammit unofficially visited UW recently, and Scott wrote up a trip report that you can see HERE. Scott and Chris also talk about what a commitment from a quarterback at this point in the recruiting cycle can do for a program, especially with Washington set to host a ton of official visitors here in the coming weeks and months.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds and Chris Fetters - were at Husky Stadium Saturday afternoon to watch the Washington Huskies go through their paces during Day 6 of spring football. The day started out under beautiful Seattle skies but finished with rain. That didn't dampen the enthusiasm of the team, however, as they took part in a scrimmage to end practice that lasted at least a half an hour. On offense, the running backs continued to show out, and because of a lack of available bodies at tight end it was Kade Eldridge, the USC transfer, that got plenty of turns to make his mark today. Kim and Chris talked about his day, as well as the day had by receiver Justice Williams, the redshirt freshman from Oaks Christian. After a quick break the guys turn to the other side of the ball, and on defense it was once again a case for Elinneus Davis making some big plays, Utah transfer Simote Pepa getting the most work he's seen so far this spring, and also the emergence of Northern Arizona transfer safety Alex McLaughlin as a sure tackler as he singlehandedly brought down Jonah Coleman, Adam Mohammed, and Julian McMahan, UW's three big running backs. Before the podcast ended, the guys had to talk about the run Danny Sprinkle and the men's basketball staff are having on the recruiting trail. In the last few days they got Wesley Yates III to return to Montlake after a year at USC, and then on Friday they received a commitment from Jasir Rencher, a wing from the Bay Area who had signed with Texas A&M but got out of his letter after Aggies Head Coach Buzz Williams left for Maryland. How will the Huskies finish out their recruiting class? Does Sprinkle still have a trick or two up his sleeve? And will Quincy Pondexter come back to coach at UW?

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - break down what they saw from Day Five of UW Spring Football, held Thursday afternoon at the Dempsey Indoor Facility next to Husky Stadium. And it was definitely a day for work in the Dempsey because the weather in Seattle couldn't make up its mind. Half the day was sunny and breezy; the other half was flat-out stormy. The guys talk about their standouts on both sides of the ball, starting with the offense and then moving to the defense. With so many players limited or out, it certainly has given opportunities for the younger players, like true freshmen OL John Mills and Champ Taulealea and true frosh WR Chris Lawson. And on defense there were a number of cornerbacks that didn't participate today, which meant guys like Caleb Presley, Rahshawn Clark, D'Aryhian Clemons and Rylon Dillard-Allen were taking even more first and second team reps than normal. After a quick break Scott talks about three unofficial visitors that were spotted at practice and also hints at some news coming down the pike soon in regards to UW's recruiting efforts. And Kim talks a little bit about today's news regarding the return of shooting guard Wesley Yates to Montlake after a year at USC.

For the first time so far this spring, Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund were all in the same room post-practice to talk about what they saw, and they saw a lot on Tuesday afternoon. There was plenty to talk about after Day 4 of Washington's spring football campaign, and it mostly had to do with the big plays seen on both sides of the ball. On offense it was about Jordan Washington, his 80-yard touchdown scamper down the right sideline where he left all the defenders in his wake. It was also about the receivers, with Audric Harris having a strong day inside the Dempsey Indoor Facility. The guys also talked about USC transfer Kade Eldridge...could he be used as an H-back or even fullback like the Huskies did a few times last season with Voi Tunuufi? And then a bunch of talk about the offensive line, some of the combinations of players that swapped in and out of the first two lines, mainly the use of two of the true freshmen guards - John Mills and Champ Taulealea. After a quick break the talk turned to the defensive side of the ball. The secondary continues to make plays, highlighted by the back-to-back picks of Makell Esteen and Vincent Holmes. Holmes also came up with a fumble recovery off freshman receiver Chris Lawson. Scott also gave a recruiting update, mostly about the 2026 quarterbacks the Huskies have targeted, and Kim offered up a quick hoops portal update to round out the show.

The Huskies even plan on hosting a number of top prospects the same weekend as their Spring Game, Dawgs After Dark. Chris and Scott also talk about Washington's recent commitments that came out of UW's Junior Day, and also who might make decisions in favor of the Huskies during the summer. They also talk about the two players that recently de-committed from UW.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - got together to record a quick recap of the things they saw and heard during Washington's Pro Day, the annual event where NFL scouts and coaches convene in Seattle to watch draft-eligible UW players, and sometimes players from other schools that get invites. And in the case of today's Pro Day, it was 14 Huskies plus one former local prep star - Rainier Beach's Orin Patu, who played collegiately at California, Arizona, and Bethune-Cookman. Here are the 14 Huskies that competed. DL Jacob Bandes DB Cameron Broussard LB Carson Bruener DB Kamren Fabiculanan WR Jeremiah Hunter WR Giles Jackson TE Keleki Latu RB Daniyel Ngata QB Will Rogers OL D'Angalo Titialii DL Voi Tunuufi LB Alphonzo Tuputala DL Sebastian Valdez OL Enokk Vimahi We spoke about the standout performances, namely from DL Sebastian Valdez and WR Giles Jackson, and also offered up some snippets of what the players told us about their performances after Pro Day was done, how they feel they left things at UW, who they expect to emerge this spring as players to watch, and more.  After that, Scott provided a quick but pretty thorough breakdown of what took place this weekend on Montlake when it came to their Junior Day, the verbal commitments of Ksani Jiles and Elijah Durr, the most recent update with Bott Mulitalo's de-commitment from Oregon, and more. Look out for a recruiting blog from Scott breaking down what he learned about the Junior Day in detail.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Jack McCauley and former UW Basketball players Noah Dickerson and Jason Crandall - are back with another hoops podcast. It's been a minute since they last spoke together, and in that time Washington has gone 3-2, including road wins over Minnesota and Penn State. The guys talked about the turnaround and specific things they saw during the last five-game stretch they hadn't seen before up to that point. A big part of the turnaround has been the inclusion of Franck Kepnang in the lineup and the emergence of Mekhi Mason, as well as Great Osobor continuing to do Great Osobor things. What did Noah think of Great's unique double-double at Penn State, as well as threatening to become Washington's first-ever player to tally a triple-double? And not to be outdone, Jason talks about his near quadruple-double in high school. After a quick break, the guys come back and talk about tomorrow night's game against Rutgers, their true freshmen pheoms, how much of a win over the Scarlet Knights is needed in order for UW to secure a Big Ten Tournament berth, and also what they expect to see when the Huskies hit the road again for games at Iowa and Wisconsin. Both Noah and Jason had experience at Washington playing with really talented freshmen, and Noah also talked about the one time he worked out with current Rutgers true frosh Ace Bailey, who is being touted as a potential number-one pick in the upcoming NBA Draft.

The Dawgman Hoops Pod is back! Jack McCauley is joined by former UW players Noah Dickerson and Jason Crandall to offer up their current thoughts on UW Hoops, why the games went like they did, and what the team needs to do to enjoy some success moving forward. In the first segment, the guys recap the last three games - Purdue, at Oregon, and UCLA. They talked about the importance of getting Franck Kepnang back for the UCLA game, how the veteran guards need to step up, and how well Great Osobor has been playing of late. After a quick break, the guys rip right into the second half of the show. They talk about the next three games for UW: at Minnesota and hosting Nebraska and Northwestern, as well as what it's going to take to try to win enough games to make the Big Ten Tournament. With 18 Big Ten teams, only 15 make the tournament. Right now the Huskies are in last place. They also offer their opinions on who has stood out on the team through the first half of Big Ten play, and who needs to have a big end of season if the Huskies hold any hopes of a postseason run. And Noah has one final word for all recent UW and D1 athletes and what they can do to claim their due compensation from the NCAA per the House settlement.
