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.

We also chat about Huck's latest tummy drama and Ali's extremely measured reaction to it (spoiler: not so measured). Then we get into some big feelings around immigration, protests, and how to stay grounded when the world feels totally upside-down. It's fluff, feels, and fire—just how we like it.

Alaskan Klee Kai Move to Miscellaneous Host Laura Reeves is joined by Chelsea Watson for a discussion of the Alaskan Klee Kai moving to Miscellaneous this summer. [caption id="attachment_14178" align="alignleft" width="370"] Versatile, energetic and aloof, Alaskan Klee Kai join Miscellaneous.[/caption] According to Watson, the Klee Kai was developed in Alaska in the 1970s by one woman who wanted to create a “miniature Husky.” The breed was developed using Alaskan Huskies, with additions of Siberian Husky, American Eskimo Dog and Schipperke. The Klee Kai is 12-17 inches tall, with a variety of colors and coats available. Bred as a companion dog, it should still move with the smooth, effortless carriage of its working forbears, Watson noted. The Klee Kai was accepted into AKC's FSS (Foundation Stock Service) program in 2020. An active, even busy, breed, Klee Kai are aloof and reserved with strangers, but excel in agility and other performance events, Watson said. “They are very high energy breed,” Watson said. “They are not couch potatoes. They also are a very versatile breed. You want to go hiking for three hours every day? They can do it. Bike for five hours or five miles a day, probably 5 hours too, they can do it. Kayaking and paddle boarding with them. They could do weight pull. The tricky part is you got to have patience because they're still gonna do a quid pro quo. What's in it for me? The Husky piece is strong in them, (but) I would say they are more trainable than Huskies. Patience, it just requires a lot of patience. It's like training your cat.” The following links offer additional information about the breed.

On today's Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett is joined by Jim Moore and Chris Egan from KING 5. Puck and Jim open the show up with the Go-2-Guy once again doing the show from his brand new He-Shed.

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.

When the University of Washington began searching for a new president back in 2015, they did what you might expect: They started a nationwide hunt, looking for the best fit to lead an institution known at the time, more for its research than for its classes. It turns out the answer was right at home. Ana Mari Cauce had been at the University of Washington since 1986, in various teaching and leadership roles, starting as an assistant professor in the Department of Psychology. Cauce entered the office as the first openly gay, first Latina, and first woman to lead the largest University in the state. And during her time in the office, the UW has changed a lot. There was a global pandemic and move to online learning. Campus-wide Pro-Palestine protests brought national attention to the school as students clashed with university administrators. Key for sports fans, The Huskies left the PAC-12 conference, joining the Big 10. Add to that – in the last few months, defunding moves, international student visa cancellations and further threats from the federal government. Now, Cauce’s ten years at the helm of the University of Washington is coming to the end. What has she learned from her tenure? And what advice does she have for her successor as he prepares to take over? Guest: Ana Mari Cauce, President of the University of Washington Related Stories: Trump Has Targeted These Universities. Why? - New York Times UW president warns of budget crisis, potential layoffs - KUOW ED, HHS, and GSA Initiate Review of Anti-Semitic Activity at the University of Washington - HHS.gov What comes next for the pro-Palestine protesters at UW? - KUOW Thank you to the supporters of KUOW, you help make this show possible!

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.
