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.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund - wanted to take this time to really dive deep into the transfer portal now that the Washington Huskies are basically done dipping their toes, barring a 'monumental' event. They go position-by-position, starting with the quarterbacks, and talk about how each room has been reshaped over the winter by portal outgoings and incomings, whether or not those position numbers will change after spring, and how each group is being affected by Head Coach Jedd Fisch's decision to stay at 85 scholarships. Scott offers his opinion on which position groups will still see movement in terms of outgoings. And as they go position-by-position starting with the offense, they also talk about some of the side stories impacting these decisions, like who might be in line to retire due to medical issues, the storyline with Tacario Davis and Thaddeus Dixon, some of the true freshmen that might be able to make an impact having already enrolled in time for winter conditioning, having two scholarship long snappers currently on the roster, and more.

The Hoops pod is back! Jack McCauley is joined by former UW players Noah Dickerson and Jason Crandall to recap their thoughts on the Huskies recent road swing through Michigan State and Michigan, otherwise known as the 'Welcome to the Big Ten' road trip. Starting with the 88-54 loss to Michigan State, the guys talk about the slow start, why it happened, and is it something UW fans might expect to see more of throughout the season? The guys also offered up insight on what it's like to get hit in the mouth like UW did last Thursday night, lose big, and what the next day is like at practice. And especially on the road, what was that like? Then they talked about the 16-point loss at Sunday Michigan and whether that's more in line with what UW fans should see from the Huskies moving forward, especially teams that have multiple big men. That talk turned into the play of Great Osobor, who tied a season-high with 23 points. He also showed up with 11 rebounds. How has his progress been, and can UW win games when he's not at 100 percent? After a quick break, the guys move forward and look to the next three games on this current gauntlet of playing six-straight ranked teams. Washington hosts Purdue Wednesday night, travel to Oregon to play the Ducks on Tuesday the 21st, and then they come back to Seattle to host UCLA three days later. With those three games all in the Pacific Northwest, and two at home - does that help shift the energy? And can the Huskies pull off an upset in one of the next three games? Noah and Jason also took some time to answer a couple of fan-submitted questions before wrapping up this podcast. When did they know that they had a team capable of making the NCAA Tournament? And what would it have been like if Dejounte Murray and Marquese Chriss had come back after their freshman seasons instead of turning pro?

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - dumped out the mailbag this morning and got after all the relevant UW topics right now. First is the transfer portal. Has the time come and gone for UW players to officially enter their names into the portal? And what is the latest with cornerback Thaddeus Dixon, especially now that former Arizona CB Tacario Davis has announced his intentions to become a Husky? Talk then turns to staff changes, especially with regard to the NFL. With Pete Carroll recently interviewing with Chicago, what does that mean for Brennan Carroll? Could we see the son go back to coach with his father, like we saw with Steve Belichick? And could that open up another spot for a former OL Coach like Scott Huff? After a quick break the talk turns to the playoffs, starting with the coaches with UW ties that are still playing. Notre Dame's Mike Denbrock, along with Texas's Steve Sarkisian and Pete Kwiatkowski are still alive and well. And what to make of the quarterbacks that are playing in the semifinal games? Former Georgia QB Carson Beck is heading to Miami; should he be getting the most NIL money? Because of the quarterback talk, the guys also talk 2025 NFL Draft. Who is the most draftable UW player right now? Opinions certainly vary. And opinions also vary when it comes to former Rainier Beach star Josh Conerly. Will the Oregon left tackle be a first or second-day pick? Kim and Chris then get to the painful stuff, Washington's 34-point loss to Michigan State last night in East Lansing. Was it avoidable, or was it inevitable? And there was a silver lining, as French forward Dominique Diomande got his visa and joined the team in Michigan. What can UW fans reasonably expect from him before the season ends? Scott offers up one more recruiting update, with a focus toward 2026, and then the guys give their final thoughts on the pod before wrapping things up.

The Hoops guys are back! Jack McCauley is once again joined by former Huskies Noah Dickerson and Jason Crandall to get their takes on Washington's latest games and also what they expect to see from the next stretch of games. What has stood out over the last few weeks? How much of a stain was that loss to Seattle University, or was it exactly what the team needed at the time? The guys also talk about the big Maryland win and why is having an early conference home win like that so important, especially before a brutal schedule? And even though it was a loss, how did the guys feel about the Illinois game? After a quick break to pay a couple of bills, Jack comes back with Noah and Jason to talk about the upcoming games for the rest of the month, arguably the greatest gauntlet of games in a row Washington has ever faced in the history of the program. What game(s) scares the guys the most? And what game (if any) is the most winnable?
