DawgmanRadio: A Hoops Transfer Portal Special!

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.
