Dawgman Radio: A Washington Huskies athletics podcast

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds and Chris Fetters - were on hand for a shortened Washington practice, one we anticipated because the Huskies are going to be playing a lot Saturday night during their Mock Game.The mock game, which starts at 6:30 pm inside Husky Stadium, will be the last chance UW fans will get to watch the team in person before they line up for their season opener against Washington State on Sunday, Sept. 6.And remember, the Fan Fest starts at 4:30, so bring your family! We're not sure whether or not the players and coaches will be there to sign autographs and take pictures before the game or after that game - we've heard both - so be there just to make sure. And the traffic, with 405 closures and the Mariners game too - isn't going to be great, so plan ahead.What did Kim and Chris see during Friday's workout? Basically what they thought they would, including a lot of clean up work and periods dedicated strictly to special teams. But there were definitely some other things of note to talk about, including the effect of the NCAA's successful appeal and what that meant for Grady Gross and Ta'ita'i Uiagalelei. The story for those two is far from over.And there was a great sequence at the very end of practice involving Defensive Line Quality Control Coach Korey Rush, Darin Conley, and a reward handed out by Jedd Fisch. You'll have to listen in to get the full story, but it's a good one!

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - were at Thursday's practice number 12 for the Washington Huskies, and there was a lot to talk about on both sides of the ball there.With many of their starters being wrapped in cotton wool in the meantime, that gave a lot of other players opportunities to step up, and they did.And interestingly enough, Scott thought the offense got the better of the defense while Chris thought it was the other way around. Why?Starting with the offense, the guys talked through the players that stood out to them, what their pecking order might look like heading into game one against Washington State on Sept 6, and then moved to the defense to talk about the players that impressed them on that side of the ball.And this is the last time the three will see the Huskies practice together before Saturday's Mock Game; what are they expecting on Saturday? And almost as important - who are they expecting to see play on Saturday night?

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds and Chris Fetters - had things to say about day 11 of Washington's fall camp practice, one that looked like it was going to be a carbon copy of Tuesday's workout on the east field, but then the team ran into Husky Stadium and that's when things got interesting.The music got cranked, they inserted a ton of crowd noise as well, and it became a Tylenol Special. If it was done to induce headaches for all the players, it worked.The competitive periods were geared a little bit toward the offense in terms of where they started their drives on the field and also due to the fact that they were playing at 'thud' tempo, meaning just short of full speed without contact taking ballcarriers to the ground.Before talking about the offensive players that stood out, Kim and Chris gave their thoughts on Washington's newest roster inclusion, former placekicker Grady Gross. The same Colorado-based court decision that allowed DL Ta'ita'i Uiagalelei to return to Montlake also gave Gross an opportunity to come back and kick for the Purple and Gold.But what does that mean for Tyler Robles? What does it mean in terms of who will kick the ball off now for the Huskies?After that, it was all about the final competitive team periods, which went roughly 80 plays. Who stood out, especially at receiver? Who participated that hadn't up to that point? Who stayed out of the periods?The guys talk about all of those things, and more. They also preview the upcoming practices and which ones the fans should see ahead of Saturday night's Mock Game inside Husky Stadium.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds and Chris Fetters - dissect what they saw on day 10 of UW fall training camp, and also what needs to happen for certain players that have been held out and what they need to do to show that they're ready to go.You're starting to get to that stage in camp where coaches are going to have to start making decisions. Special Teams Coordinator Chris Petrilli said by the end of the week he'll have a much better idea of who they will be targeting as their returners.The same thing will be happening on both sides of the ball. Kim and Chris go through the positions, starting first on the offensive side of the ball and then the defense, talking about the players that have emerged, the players that have been held out, and where the position battles need to be joined before the Huskies really get after their Apple Cup preparations starting next week.

The Mac and Mounger Show brought a guest to this week's episode, inviting the expertise of Dawgman's very own Scott Eklund. The mission for this episode was simple, yet challenging: draft the best team possible using the current Washington Husky Football roster.The trio picked their teams using a snake draft format. Each individual had to draft one running back, one receiver, one tight end, two offensive linemen, and a flex player on the offensive side of the ball. For defense, team's were filled out with one defensive tackle, one edge player, one linebacker, one cornerback, one safety, and a defensive flex player.Is the best strategy to take the best player available? Or should one target a position of limited depth to make sure their advantage at that spot is substantial? Listen along as Jack, Luke, and Scott think through these questions live, justify their answers, and fill out their rosters.Also, let us know in the comments who you think drafted the best team of the group. 

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - gathered around the microphone Saturday night after Washington's 125-play scrimmage to talk about the things they loved and the things that need work.And there was plenty to talk about on both scores.To start the podcast, the guys went down the list of the players that did not participate in the scrimmage. Every player, minus CJ Christian and Jordan Washington , suited up and went through the pre-scrimmage warmup, but then that's when a number of them went to the east field to do individual workouts and conditioning drills.But when it came to the players that did stand out, there were a number on both sides of the ball. We started on the offensive side, and then moved over to the defense.We also got to see the punters for an extended period, and also got to see Tyler Robles go 2-3 on field goal attempts on the night.Near the end of the podcast, the guys talked about safety Rylon Dillard-Allen, the play that resulted in him getting bounced from a live period and then what UW Head Coach Jedd Fisch said about RDA after practice. It was pretty interesting stuff.They finish the scrimmage recap with some final thoughts, some things that maybe didn't go that well to balance out all the positives that took place Saturday night, and then what the fall camp schedule looks like for next week.And after next Saturday's Mock Game, the media will not be allowed to watch practice.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - sat through day seven of fall training camp, which ended up being part clean up work, part special teams focus, and more competitive work as the Washington players honed in on their first big scrimmage of fall, set to start at 5:45 pm Saturday night inside Husky Stadium.But before the scrimmage, the guys talked about what they saw, who was back in the mix as far as the cleanup work was concerned, who was still held out for more conditioning, and everything else the team did before practice finished roughly 150 minutes after it started. Scott offered up a quick recruiting update, including how having the Apple Cup on a Sunday is going to help UW bring in a lot of visitors for that particular game. To finish up the podcast, the guys talked about what they expect to see from Saturday's first big scrimmage. 

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds and Chris Fetters - were on hand Thursday for day six of Washington's fall training camp, and we're at the point now in camp where the days start to bleed into one another and you not only lose track of what day of fall camp it is, but also what day of the week it is.The easiest way to remember is that we're just two days away from Washington's first big scrimmage of fall, which will take place Saturday night (5:45 pm) inside Husky Stadium. Hopefully a ton of UW fans will be able to make it.Today's practice was very much in service of that upcoming scrimmage. There was more competitive periods inside Husky Stadium, and we got to see the first 'live' snaps taken by the Huskies so far this fall, meaning defenders could take the ballcarriers to the ground.Kim and Chris talked about the players that weren't able to participate in those team periods, some that were finally let off the leash a little bit, and others that stepped up to the challenge and made plays.On offense, Kim thought Christian Moss was his standout player, while Justice Williams made the play of the day. Chris thought Gavin Day was the standout player for a goal-line interception and fumble recovery.And finally they wrapped up the practice review with an appreciation of transfer kicker Tyler Robles. The former Texas State star went 8-8 on his kicks to finish practice, including the last two 'fire drill' kicks where the whole kicking unit had to rush from the sidelines, get in formation and quickly kick the ball because they were unable to stop the clock. They went 2-2 during the 'fire drill' kicks.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds and Chris Fetters - were on hand for Washington's fifth practice of fall training camp, and it was the longest of camp by far. At right around 150 minutes, it allowed the team to get a ton of position and install work in, as well as the most team periods they've seen so far.And they moved the last couple team periods into Husky Stadium so the fans on hand could watch them compete in the Greatest Setting in College Football.Kim and Chris started out setting the scene. It was a gorgeous day on Montlake, perfect for a football practice. And the second biggest storyline of the day other than the length of practice was the fact that it wasn't the defense that ruled the day.If anything, it felt like the offense got as many shots on the defense as the other way around. To be fair, the team periods were designed mostly around the red zone or just outside the red zone (drives starting at the 25-yard line going in), and the defense certainly didn't act as a sieve.But when quarterback Demond Williams needed a play to be made down the field, he went to Dezmen Roebuck. The second-year receiver has easily become Demond's go-to guy, but Kim and Chris talked about a couple of other receivers that definitely stepped up their play on Tuesday.And a couple of the other quarterbacks also had strong days throwing the ball, and not just inside Husky Stadium.Now it feels like the questions that surrounded the team going into fall camp have gone from, how are they filling certain positions to, how good is this team going to look like when all their key pieces return to full health?When it came to the team periods, there were a number of players that practiced that weren't used; Jayden Limar, Trey Cooley, Geirean Hatchett, Landen Hatchett, Isaiah Ward, Paul Mencke, and Dylan Robinson.What is it going to look like when those players come back and the battle is fully joined?

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds and Chris Fetters - offered up their thoughts after day four of fall camp on the shores of Lake Washington, a day that started out a little overcast at first but then the sun burst through by the end of the two-hour practice.And just like the weather, the Huskies' intensity continued to ramp up during their team periods. Ramping things up seemed to be the theme of the day as both the offense and defense saw players come back into view and others made their presence known.Starting with the offensive line, they talked about Kolt Dieterich working exclusively at center and how that is having a ripple effect with both the Hatchett brothers - Geirean and Landen - out of the main competitive periods. It was good to see both of them getting some mental reps and taking more of a part in practice than before, and we fully expect their involvement to grow and grow as the week progresses.Dylan Robinson wasn't available for the team periods, but that gave more time to the other, younger corners. Players like Kayden Greene, Elias Johnson, and Jeron Jones. Elijah Durr was doing a little double duty today as he got in his work at corner and also caught some punts.Today was the first day we got to see some legit punting and return work, so the guys talked about what they saw out of Hunter Green and Luke Dunne.When the Huskies did have their team periods, they were mostly done in the red zone. Kim and Chris talked about who stood out on both sides of the ball during these periods, starting with safety Alex McLaughlin, who had two interceptions on the day, both against Demond Williams on passes intended for Rashid Williams.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - got together after a very busy day three of UW fall camp, one that saw the re-introduction of a familiar face along the Washington defensive line, and also the first time the Huskies took part in some competitive periods.The arrival of Ta'ita'i Uiagalelei to practice today was a most welcome one. The fifth-year defensive lineman is taking part because of the Colorado ruling allowing those players from 2022 that were grandfathered in to the five-for-five years of eligibility initially granted by the NCAA.While the NCAA is appealing the ruling from the Colorado court, it's assumed those eligible under that ruling would participate and play as long as they can until told otherwise. Uiagalelei still has a long ways to go in terms of getting up to speed because of all the time he missed preparing for the NFL Draft and life as a pro, but he already knows so much of what Ryan Walters and Jason Kaufusi expect that it shouldn't take him too long to get up to speed.When the competitive periods hit, it was clear which side of the ball was ready to go and which side is still feeling things out. Whether it was a stunning pick by freshman Jeron Jones in the corner of the end zone, a pick by another freshman - Ramzak Fruean - that he would have taken to the house, or just their play overall... the defense was heads and tails above the offense right now.With the exception of one receiver that came out and scored a couple touchdowns today in those same team periods. It's what we expected to see out of Christian Moss during spring ball before injury put him on the shelf. But he looks fully back and set to not just compete, but to win a starting job.At least one of the Dawgman guys thinks you can put the starting three receivers in ink; Dezmen Roebuck, Rashid Williams, and Christian Moss. They also discuss who the next three receiver would be after that.And Ryan Walters is going to have his hands full trying to figure out which linebackers he has to keep off the field. And could some of those linebackers end up actually working their way into some extra time in the slot just outside the box? One thing is for sure; with so many experienced players coming back, as well as athletic talent, Walters is going to have a lot of tough decisions to make moving forward.

The people have been asking, so we delivered! Luke Mounger and Jack McCauley are back for year eight of the Mac and Mounger Show, talking all things Washington Football.The podcast started with the discrepancies between the weights listed for certain players and what the coaches said they actually are. But instead of talking about that, Luke wanted to know how Jack would want his height and weight to be if he was on the roster.Then they get to the heart of the pod, which is their thoughts of UW Football starting back up, things they're excited about and players they want to know more about as things move closer and closer to the September 6 opener versus Washington State.For Jack, he's looking forward to hearing more about certain position groups, like the linebackers and how that room is going to sort itself out with so much returning experience and talent, or the running backs and defensive line. He's also curious about how the receiver room is going to shake out, especially the starters behind Dezmen Roebuck.For Luke, he's also interested in the receiver room and how some of the true freshmen that stood out in spring will continue to make their mark. Could they be from game one? Kodi Greene and Derek Colman-Brusa were inserted into the first team from the first rep of spring football. Will they continue to hold down those spots? Both Luke and Jack have their favorites.Jack is curious how Demond Williams is going to react without Jonah Coleman and Denzel Boston around as reliable pieces that helped him distribute the ball.Luke is curious to see how the team as a whole will react to being in Jedd Fisch's system for three years. With so much coaching continuity as well as scheme and style of play, will the Huskies make as big a jump from year two to three as they did from year one to two?The guys finish up the podcast with their expectations for some second-year players - players like RB Quaid Carr and safety Rylon Dillard-Allen.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds and Scott Eklund - had the job today of recapping what took place during day two of Washington's fall training camp, and probably the easiest summation would be this; the same as day one. There was a lot of work on position drills, as well as special teams drills. Kim and Scott talked at length about players that stood out to them on both sides of the ball. There was an emphasis on the secondary, including some thoughts on true frosh Jeron Jones and Rahsjon Duncan and also their early takes on a depth chart back there.After a quick ad break they talked about a new Husky that will definitely have better days than he had today. Freshman offensive lineman Ah Deong Yang was on the sidelines all practice today doing conditioning after going down with cramps yesterday. He was getting a lot of encouragement from his teammates and the other strength and conditioning coaches and trainers, but we're sure he's also going to catch his share of grief as well once he makes it back to the locker room. Consider it his 'welcome to college football' moment.And near the end of the podcast, Kim asked Scott, of all the players on the team, who would he choose if guaranteed 10 percent of their future pro earnings?

In what felt more like a walk-through, day one of fall camp on the east field next to Husky Stadium was 'study hall', as Washington Head Coach Jedd Fisch termed it when he met with the media post-practice.And it was unusual because the guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, Scott Eklund, and new intern Beckett Jones - hadn't ever seen a practice with no competitive periods.There was a lot of special teams work, a lot of fundamental work, and a lot of individual periods. Fisch wanted day one to be a bit of a ramp-up, especially for the players who were coming back from injury or the eight newcomers that were practicing with UW for the first time. For a couple of the true freshmen, it was definitely a 'Come to Jesus' experience.Scott provided a quick recruiting update, including an update on top 2028 UW EDGE target Jalanie George, and then the guys wrap up the podcast with their final thoughts on day one of camp.

Dawgman.com's Kim Grinolds spoke today to the new 'Voice of the Huskies', Elise Woodward. Husky fans know Elise for her sideline work covering Washington Football for decades now, but she's just as well-known for her work with the Big Ten Network, as well as her play-by-play, analyst, and studio work for multiple sports since the early 2000's.Elise talked about the hiring process, her pitch to Learfield once she found out that the previous 'Voice of the Huskies', Tony Castricone had moved on to take a job as the new Tampa Bay Buccaneers play-by-play announcer."We're thrilled to have Elise take the helm as our play-by-play announcer for Husky Football." said Brandon Forbis, general manager of Huskies Sports Properties. "Elise's passion for Washington sports coupled with her incredible talent and proven knowledge makes her the perfect person to lead our broadcasts into this next era of Husky Football."She also talked about her decision to do football only for Washington while maintaining her ability to freelance during basketball season.Kim and Elise reminisced about their times together covering Washington Football games on the sidelines since 2003, her fiery personality and how those skills honed over the decades will translate to the booth. Kim offered up a couple of choice memories of Elise working on the sidelines, including one from the 2008 0-12 season and another from the 70-21 game in Eugene in 2016.Elise also talked about that fine line she constantly deals with in terms of tempering her excitement and passion for UW Athletics as an alum, yet making sure her first job - setting the scene and telling the story - comes across the way it needs to.She also talked about her favorite part of a football game, including her take on walking down the tunnel pregame, and what she'll miss the most by moving from the sideline to the press box. And she talked about the responsibility she feels for following in the footsteps of announcers like Castricone and Bob Rondeau.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - got together again to talk about what they expect to see on the defensive side of the ball when fall camp breaks for Washington on August 6.They already gave their thoughts on the offensive side of the ball, and now it's time to flip the field and talk about Ryan Walters and his guys, as well as Chris Petrilli and his group of specialists.Starting with Walters, how much of UW's eventual success will come down to coaching versus talent on hand? He took a defense at Illinois that was top-30 and turned it into a top-5 defense nationally in his second year. Going into his second year on Montlake, can he re-create that same ramp-up year over year?Moving to the defensive line, Kim, Chris, and Scott roll through all the players on the defensive side of the ball, what they were able to see of them during spring ball - if at all - and also the newcomers that they will be focusing on starting in a couple of weeks.There's at least 10 faces on the defensive side of the ball that were limited participants in spring through injury or weren't going to be available until the fall. That group includes former Mississippi State DL Kai McClendon, EDGEs Russell Davis II and Logan George, linebacker Taariq Al-Uqdah, safety Rahshawn Clark, and defensive back Rahsjon Duncan.The guys finish the pod talking about the Washington special teams, how they look moving on from departed PK Grady Gross, who will win the punting battle between Hunter Green and Luke Dunne, and also offer up their thoughts on UW's punt return and kick return options.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - got together to talk about what they expect to see when fall camp breaks for Washington on August 6.Starting with the quarterback position, they go through position-by-position and talk about the main players for each room, expected position battles, the health of each room going into camp, and who needs to step up and be counted on as the Huskies look to improve on a season where they averaged 409.9 yards and 34.1 points per game.When it comes to the signal-callers, what does Demond Williams need to do to take the next step in his development? Is it for sure that former Stanford quarterback Elijah Brown will be his backup?How ready are Jayden Limar and Trey Cooley when it comes to leading the running backs despite not playing at all during spring? And who is going to join them as the backs Scottie Graham will have to lean on this fall?Will Christian Moss be able to overcome his spring nicks and dings to provide the kind of production and leadership needed for a very young receiving corps? And who are the younger receivers that have the potential to step up and be counted on?As far as the tight ends go, will they have the bodies necessary to play more than 11 or 12 personnel? Could a third tight end emerge? Will Kade Eldridge go back to strictly being a tight end, or did Jedd Fisch see enough of him at fullback to continue using him there too?And when it comes to the offensive line, are the starters set even though two of them missed basically all of spring? Are there still position battles to be had, especially inside? And who are the linemen Michael Switzer can count on for providing quality depth?One thing is for sure; they are so much bigger and better as a unit than they were back when Fisch took over in 2024.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund - got together ahead of the Fourth of July weekend to give their thoughts on this week's Washington commitments - OL Tye Kennedy (son of Lincoln Kennedy) and Gecova Doyal - and also the other players set to make their announcements soon.With Evan Mack deciding on Arizona this week, where will UW go next with regard to cornerback? They're waiting on Censere Gaylord to announce, and they also gave J'Isaiah Mitchell an offer as a defensive back after they offered him earlier as a receiver. Will Mitchell, who recently committed to Boise State, take another look at UW on the other side of the ball?The guys also talk about the next scheduled commit that Washington fans should be paying attention to - Chandler (Ariz.) Basha OL DaJohn Yarborough. Yarborough is expected to announce his decision on July 11, a week from Friday.And if Yarborough decides Washington is not his preferred destination, who will the Huskies target? There are a couple of local prospects in Curtis' Rashaun Lavata'i (just committed to Washington State) and Inglemoor's Ben Rainwater (recently committed to Boise State) that the UW coaches could circle back on.The final question; if the Huskies do end up landing Yarborough and Gaylord to get their 2026 class number to 25 prospects, does Scott expect that number to stay at 25 by the time Signing Day comes in December?

Now that FBS schools are in a recruiting dead period, it's a good time to reset and talk about all the latest news regarding UW Football recruiting.Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund of Dawgman.com caught up Friday morning to break everything down, from Washington's latest commitments - Jaden Walk-Green and Braylon Logan - to wrapping up UW's last recruiting weekend in June and a look ahead to those players looking to make commitment decisions very soon.Osani Gayles is set to decide on Saturday, June 27 and two offensive linemen that just visited UW - Tye Kennedy and Gecova Doyal - are set to announce their commitment decisions on July 1st. Another offensive lineman that just visited Montlake, DaJohn Yarborough, has announced a commitment date of July 11th.Scott gives his best guesses as to where those players will commit to, as well as others who have visited Washington officially but could announce at any time, including Censere Gaylord, Nolan Balke, Jag Ioane, Evan Mack, and Caden Jones.Scott also talks about the Rashaun Lavata'i recruitment, why he thinks Washington State is the best place for him, and also talks about how the Huskies might finish out their 2027 recruiting class.Will it be with a late flip of a player the Huskies have been recruiting a long time that has committed to another school? Or will it be a late addition to their war room board, a high-flying senior that just burst onto the scene the last few months? If it's the latter, Scott has at least one particular local prospect in mind. All of that and a lot more were covered in this hour-long recruiting reset.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund - got together during this recruiting 'bye' week to catch up on all things UW Football recruiting.First they talk about the last five UW commits - Reis Russell, Tevita Nonu, Tre Moore, Dontay Tyson, and Chaz Gray - and then recap the last two official visit weekends.Then they talk about why there are no official visits this weekend (it's a pretty easy answer) and then preview the last big official visit weekend in June for the Huskies, focusing on OL and Special Teams recruiting.To finish things up, Scott offers up his best guesses as to how Washington will finish out their 2027 recruiting class. Hint: they could end up taking more than 25 prospects, depending on how things work out. They could also lose a commit or two before December's Signing Day.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - got together this week to break down what they saw from the defensive side of the ball during spring football. Over the course of 14 practices and a spring game, there was a ton to talk about, as well as any questions left unanswered depending on who was available and who wasn't.Starting with the EDGE players and working their way down the order position-by-position, Kim, Chris, and Scott broke down their observations with one eye on spring ball and also with one eye focused on what it all means as the team heads toward the offseason and into training camp in August.And so many questions to answer... Who were the standouts? Who took big strides during April? Who took advantage of their opportunities? Who needed to show more?With so many first year players getting ample turns with other defensive players limited or out of spring football altogether, who were the players that the coaches relied on?

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - decided the last audio mailbag went so well that they wanted to do it again. So we took a sampling of your questions and put them all together. The first half of the podcast answered the ones that were related to Washington Football, and after a quick break they answered your UW recruiting-based questions. Below are the questions that were asked, including the members who asked them. jazzhands67 What are the biggest differences between last years team and this years in May? MontlakeMonty When will this national narrative that Coach Fisch and Demond are desperately trying to leave UW finally fade? ASkalbania Which position groups will be the strength of the team this season and which ones (if any) should we be worried about? OlyFan This staff seems to be leaning into a bigger than expected recruiting class from the high school ranks. They retained (checks notes) 61 players this past offseason. What do you think the plan will be with the portal after the season? BDAWG2412 What are some things Demond Williams has improved at? gohuskies898 Curious as to what High School coaches think of the program now. WHB Blake Roskopf's size, stats, arm strength makes him a Jacob Eason look alike. Eason was the top recruit in the country as I recollect. Blake is a four-star (just) rated prospect. Some believe he is way underrated. What's your take? Zdawg22 Can UW ever recruit better than Oregon if NIL playing field isn't leveled? With half share in Big 10, and no big whale donors for football resulting in a big resource disadvantage. MontlakeMonty What is the real story on the Adam Mohammed transfer? Did we seriously lose our top back to Cal because we couldn't afford to pay him what they did?

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds and Chris Fetters - got together this week to break down what they saw from the offensive side of the ball during spring football. Over the course of 14 practices and a spring game, there was a ton to talk about, as well as any questions left unanswered depending on who was available and who wasn't. Starting with the quarterbacks and working their way down the order position-by-position, Kim and Chris break down their observations with one eye on spring ball and also with one eye focused on what it all means as the team heads toward the offseason and into training camp in August. And so many questions to answer... Who were the standouts? Who took big strides during April? Who took advantage of their opportunities? Who needed to show more? How big was not having Jayden Limar and Trey Cooley when talking about the UW running backs? How big was not having Christian Moss to the overall outlook for the Husky receivers? And how much did not having the Hatchett brothers and Kolt Dieterich affect how the offensive line performed?

Buoyed by some stellar defensive play, the Purple Team beat Team Gold 27-10 in the annual 'Dawgs After Dark' Spring Game at Husky Stadium Friday night. The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - were on hand to check everything out and talk about the stars of the night, as well as talk about some of the players we didn't get to see as much of. And there was also talk about the format of the game, how the team was split up via a draft so it wasn't best on best, twos on twos, etc... and whether or not other teams would get anything out of it while scouting them as opponents. Scott offered up a quick recruiting update on the players that were seen there, as well as what the UW coaches have on their plates as they enter a very busy May evaluation period where they can hit the road on search of more 2027 recruits for their class, as well as lay the groundwork with future classes. And then the guys offer up their final thoughts on the game, on spring in general, and what the Huskies have to do in the offseason this summer to really hit the ground running when August training camp arrives.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - spent Tuesday night dissecting what the could from the two-and-a-half practice they just saw out on the east field next to Husky Stadium. But they also spent a fair part of it talking about the individual play of certain Washington players that have taken advantage of opportunities in the absence of others. Some examples include WR Deji Ajose, EDGE Ramzak Fruean, CB/Nickel Ramonz Adams Jr., and RB Ansu Sanoe. Scott also offered up some thoughts on Washington's newest 2027 commit, Glacier Peak TE Zach Albright, and also talked about some of the prospects that are expected to be at Husky Stadium this coming Friday night. And the guys finished up the podcast talking about a number of players on both sides of the ball that Washington fans should be looking out for during Friday night's spring game. Last year had roughly 20,000 UW fans out in attendance, and I know they're trying hard to top that number this year.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - had to find a spot to record while the UCLA-UW Softball game was going on behind them to offer up their thoughts on today's final scrimmage before 'Dawgs After Dark', as well as update UW fans on the players that got drafted today. And as it fortuitously worked out for us, Zach Durfee was taken as the 7th Husky in the 7th round just moments before we were set to wrap up the podcast, so we were able to give our thoughts on that news too. To start, we talked about the general tone of the scrimmage, which went 130 plays according to UW Head Coach Jedd Fisch. We talked about the gulf in class between Demond Williams and the rest of the quarterbacks room. We talked about the running backs that continue to get turns and how that room will invariably change once Jayden Limar and Trey Cooley are cleared to play. We talked about how good it was to see Ohio State transfer Bodpegn Miller get some snaps during the scrimmage and also how some of the lesser-known pass-catchers, like Charlie Crowell, started to get some production. We talked about interceptions by Kayden Greene and freshman safety Gavin Day highlighting the play the defense.  We talked about the battle in the trenches, how it's been a blessing that no one has really gotten injured in there so far this spring, and how the rooms will definitely improve, especially when the DL gets former Mississippi State standout freshman Kai McClendon back. But mostly it was about how the defense is still a ways ahead of the offense, and also how the competition level has continued to rise and rise, leading to more scuffles and how the competition has pressurized things to where there's more breakdowns - like poor snaps, penalties, and the like. Scott offered up a quick recruiting update, as there were a few prospects there today but UW is really gearing up their recruiting efforts to coincide with Dawgs After Dark. And then Zach Durfee was picked by Jacksonville shortly before we closed out the show.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - were at Husky Stadium Thursday to check out Day 11 of Washington's spring football campaign, and it felt a bit like the calm before the storm. You're getting to the part of camp where guys can start to hit a little bit of a wall, especially the younger players, but in this case the shells and shorts practice felt more like a warmup for what UW fans should expect to see Saturday afternoon during their last big scrimmage before Dawgs After Dark, the following Friday. For one thing, it wasn't a very long practice. It went basically two hours as UW Head Coach Jedd Fisch cut things short right before we expected to see another team period to round things out. That may have been because of the ongoing NFL Draft and players and coaches wanting to watch some of their former teammates potentially get drafted. It might also be because Saturday's scrimmage is expected to be a longer one and get want the available players to be as fresh as possible. The Dawgman guys talked about what they did see today, including some two-minute work for the first time all camp, and also who is standing out among the UW running backs, receivers, and tight ends. Who is getting more open; Dezmen Roebuck, or Decker DeGraaf? They also talked about the physical transformation for some of the younger players, like Ansu Sanoe, Ryken Moon, and others, and Scott offered up a quick recruiting update as a number of important recruits are expected to be at Husky Stadium on Saturday. And they had one big visitor in today.

There was some great competition and the offense starting to get some back against the defense during a cloudy day of work during Day 10 of spring football on the east field next to Husky Stadium. The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - got together after practice to break down the things they saw, the players they saw return after not doing as much during the first big scrimmage of spring, held this past Saturday afternoon at Husky Stadium, and also broke down arguably one of the great drills we've watched all spring. And it had nothing to do with offense or defense. We also laid out the rest of the week and how next week is going to go as well, as all of this is eventually going to culminate in UW's 'Dawgs After Dark' on Friday, May 1 at 6:30 pm PT.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds and Chris Fetters - got together after Washington's ninth spring practice, their first major scrimmage of spring, to talk about what they saw, who stood out, and what might be causing issues for certain positions. And it became clear during the two-hour-plus practice that included well over 100 scrimmage reps that the defense is well ahead of the offense. Why is that? Kim and Chris definitely offer up some opinions on that, and there's certainly reasons on both sides of the ball why that's the case. They also talked about some of their standout performers, as well as who has stepped in and performed in the absence of others that have been held out due to injury. There is likely to be only one more major scrimmage before Dawgs After Dark on May 1st, and that one will be a week from today, so don't hesitate to go to Husky Stadium if you can!

We're at that point in spring football - almost literally the half-way point - where players are kind of done with working on the fundamentals and the details of their position. They want to go hit someone. They're going to get that chance this Saturday at Husky Stadium during UW's first big scrimmage of spring, but before that they had to push through today's practice. And there was a lot to push through as the team participated in well over an hour's worth of 11-11 football to finish the day. And you could also tell tempers were starting to fray just a bit and a lot of the players can't wait to put the full pads back on and really get after it. But just how much will the UW coaches allow during Saturday's scrimmage? That's just one question the guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds and Chris Fetters - talked about after Thursday's practice. Of course they broke down all the major talking points that they saw, like the improvements being made by the offense and the big plays that were also made. But they also talked about the defense, the players that continue to show up, and also the players that are being asked to play more and more snaps due to others being limited - like Logan George in place of EDGE Isaiah Ward. And what else do Kim and Chris expect to see on Saturday? They try and answer that question at the end of today's recap pod.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - had to do a little improvising to put out this particular post-practice podcast, and it fit the theme of the day. In a move that went off-script, the Washington Huskies decided to practice off-site. In this case they went to the Virginia Mason Athletic Center, the home training facility for the Seattle Seahawks. For the defense, they were suitably impressed and did their best 'Dark Side' imitation against Washington's offense, especially the defensive backs. Emmanuel Karnley and Paul Mencke Jr. were just two of the standout defenders. The guys first talked about what they saw on the offensive side of the ball, and then after a quick break to pay some bills flipped the script and talked defense. Then Scott gave a quick recruiting update on the last camp that he went to and the one he is going to this weekend.

It wasn't ideal, but a little rain wasn't going to stop the Washington Huskies from getting their Saturday scrimmage work in. So that's what they did. They moved to the Dempsey Indoor Facility for roughly 150 minutes to get in their individual work, as well as a lot of team scrimmaging - some of it 'live' in terms of being able to take the ballcarrier to the ground. The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds and Chris Fetters - offered up their thoughts after observing Saturday's practice, and the theme of Saturday was definitely competition. Hard to say exactly how many scrimmage reps they got, but it was probably double what they were able to get a week earlier when practice was cut short due to a serious injury. Starting with the quarterbacks and working their way through the offense first, Kim and Chris talked about the backup quarterback spot, how big is Ansu Sanoe's upside, and just how good are these true freshman receivers? After a quick break the talk turns to the other side of the ball, including talk on the EDGE rotation and also some comments on one of the larger UW recruiting prospects we've seen in some time, 2027 offensive lineman Ben Lowther. Kim also quickly updates the situation with the basketball recruiting portal and some of the players the Huskies are targeting, including one that was at practice - LeJuan Watts. He's the younger brother of current UW DL DeSean Watts.

It was a beautiful Thursday at Husky Stadium as the Washington Huskies worked through their fifth day of spring football. Though it was a shells-and-shorts practice, the Huskies got a lot accomplished. And there was a lot to talk about now that UW is through a third of their spring practices.  Some of it was through the new players - the freshmen and transfers - clearly getting more comfortable with their roles and the routines that they've become accustomed to. And some of it was players just beyond the point where they've shaken off the rust and are now getting past the 'welcome back' phase of camp and have created a platform for themselves by which they can push on to the next level in their development. The Dawgman guys - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - worked through most of the positions to give not just an idea of who stood out on the day but also who has really taken the biggest advantage of their opportunities. Some of them, like Quaid Carr, have been helped because the players that were expected to be around him aren't there. And others, like a trio of true freshmen in WR Jordan Clay, OL Kodi Greene, and DL Derek Colman-Brusa, have simply impressed by how quickly they've assimilated into the first teams and showed off their considerable talent. In fact, Kim asked Chris and Scott - if one of those three ended up a freshman All-American as John Mills did last year for Washington, who would it be? Clay, Greene, or Colman-Brusa?

In what appeared to be an attempt to make up for some of the reps lost when Jordan Washington was hurt Saturday, Jedd Fisch took his Washington team back into Husky Stadium in full pads to not just finish what they started but also add a few more turns to the video vault. And in doing so they allowed a few players to tack on some own personal highlights, starting with sophomore defensive back Elias Johnson. The 6-foot-2 Johnson was all over the place during Tuesday's Day Four workout, knocking down passes, getting in the way of runs and generally causing headaches for his teammates on the offensive side of the ball. The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - talked about Elias' day, and also some of the other players that stood out in their mind on a day where the Huskies didn't have a number of other players available from Saturday's scrimmage. In fact, they were limited in numbers at linebacker to the point where they only had three that could take part in the final team periods. But that didn't stop the Huskies from getting their work done. The guys talked about some players they liked watching on both sides of the ball, and Kim also offered up some thoughts to the conversations he had post-practice with WR Coach Kevin Cummings, WR Dezmen Roebuck, and WR Rashid Williams. And they finished out the podcast talking about Washington's newest commit, as they found their quarterback for the 2027 recruiting class in Goodyear (Ariz.) Desert Edge's Blake Roskopf. If the school sounds familiar, it's because Zerek Sidney and Jalanie George are Roskopf's teammates. Sidney is also a UW commit for 2027 as a receiver and George is 247Sports' top-rated EDGE for the 2028 recruiting class and a top UW target.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - were inside Husky Stadium for Day Three of Washington Spring Football, and everything was going along great until an injury unfortunately cut short practice. Running back Jordan Washington was taken to the hospital for precautionary reasons. As of the posting of this story he's conscious and moving all of his extremities.Based on the history of how UW Head Coach Jedd Fisch likes to run his Saturday practices, they were just getting into a long team scrimmage period that probably would have gone at least 50-60 plays. But even in the short amount of scrimmaging that we saw in the first day with full pads, we still saw plenty to talk about. The guys go through each position grouping and give their thoughts on what they saw. For instance, today was the first day quarterback Elijah Brown was given the keys as UW's backup behind Demond Williams. He's been going back and forth in a battle with Kini McMillan for that spot. They talk about what they saw from Brown, the freshmen that are making moves, the transfers that are already showing up and making plays, and more in this roughly 40-minute practice recap.

The Washington Huskies were 21st in total defense and 15th in scoring defense last season. Could they be even better in 2026? There sure seems to be a lot of reasons to think so, starting right at the top with defensive coordinator Ryan Walters. The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - got together after day two of UW's spring football campaign, held Thursday afternoon in mixed conditions on the east field next to Husky Stadium, and hashed out all the good, bad, and ugly that they saw during the 150-minute practice. And the intermittent, spitting wind and rain didn't help things for the offense.  The good on that side of the ball came mostly from the receivers and tight ends, led by Rashid Williams, Chris Lawson, and Decker DeGraaf. It was a mixed day for quarterback Demond Williams and a less than stellar day for the centers, as Jake Flores and Parker Cross were deputized during the final team period due to the Hatchett brothers being unavailable at that time. But most of the talk was about the defense. From the big, stout defensive front to the experienced linebacking crew and a defensive backs room filled with youth and athleticism, there was a lot to talk about. It all started with a conversation about Walters, who spoke with the media after Thursday's practice. He talked about his level of comfort being at UW and in Seattle, how it has worked out tremendously for his family. And as he said, when you're comfortable, you can maximize your potential.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - got together after Washington's first practice of spring and gave their off-the-cuff initial impressions of what they saw during the 150-minute practice Tuesday afternoon on the east field next to Husky Stadium. The first day of spring is always a kind of 'get to know you' practice, especially for the first-year guys and new transfers. It can also be that way for new coaches, like new offensive assistant coach Matt Cavanaugh. The guys went through basically every position group to give their general thoughts, as well as more specific commentary on those players that physically stood out. One thing that rang true after seeing the team on the hoof: Jedd Fisch is realizing his vision of getting bigger, especially along the lines.  It was hard not to be impressed with the overall group of true freshmen that were on hand to practice, starting with OL Kodi Greene and DL Derek Colman-Brusa. Even some of the receivers, like Jordan Clay, and the defensive backs like Jeron Jones and Elijah Durr, were hard to ignore. The guys also talked about the format of practice, how it was geared more to get the guys going with their fundamentals and position-specific drills.

Due to positive feedback, the guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - decided to do another audio mailbag, and this one mostly dealt with what we expect to see during spring football. But it started with bigger picture questions, like donor fatigue in the NIL age, Pat Chun's relationships with Jedd Fisch and Danny Sprinkle, as well as Fisch's long-term prospects as Washington's head coach compared to moving on. After a quick break, the talk turned more into the players and coaches we are excited to see as Spring Football is set to begin this coming Tuesday. Who are our choices for breakout stars? Which freshmen do we think stand the best chance at making an impact in 2026?  Hopefully more questions will be answered as we work through next week and see the team in person.  Oh, and we were also asked about Washington's chances at making the College Football Playoff this coming fall.

Dawgman Recruiting Editor Scott Eklund goes through the list of visitors that will be on campus Saturday and discusses where Washington stands with them and which players could be pulling the trigger on a commitment in the very near future.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - got together this morning to answer some member-submitted questions and then Chris and Scott answered Kim's questions about former interns, players, and coaches. Some of the questions that were asked: How have UW done in the offseason replacing Denzel Boston...The 10 best current players on the UW roster...Top in-state recruits for the next few years...Opinions on current AD Pat Chun...Best guesses on true freshman that won't redshirt...Jedd Fisch's next coaching destination...A breakdown of 2026's defensive line and EDGE group... And then Kim got to ask some of his most-pressing questions about former coaches and players the guys loved to talk to and would want to have a beer or drink with, as well as favorite interns and a lot more.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund - broke down Washington's portal business now that the end day to enter the transfer portal has come and gone (January 16). Scott did a fantastic job of breaking down how Washington approached this portal cycle, their process, positions of need identified, and how well they achieved balance in those positions in his latest recruiting blog. To start, Scott added some context to his blog thoughts and they talked about any UW players entering the portal Scott was surprised about. And there were a few. After a quick break, the guys talk about any other portal entries that may have seen the 'writing on the wall' and used that as their rationale for entering the portal. To finish out, the guys talk about the 9 portal signings that Jedd Fisch already spoke on this past week, and how well they addressed need. And could the Huskies actually sign more high school players for the 2026 recruiting class? The start date for the regular 2026 prep signing window starts on Wednesday, February 4.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - got together shortly after Demond Williams announced his return to Washington, followed closely by public statements made by UW Head Coach Jedd Fisch and UW AD Pat Chun. They go through the statements, give their initial thoughts on not just the statements but the last 48 hours, and what they think will happen now. Did Demond simply 'see the light' after conversations with Fisch and others, or was it a case of finding out he wasn't nearly as attractive a transfer candidate based on the toxic nature of how events unfolded? And in the end, does any of that matter? And is this a situation where, because Williams simply returned where he came from, everything is good and things go back to status quo? Or will this story end up being a test case to catalyze serious change to the way contracts are drafted and enforced? The guys hash all that out and give their final thoughts on what this means for UW going forward, not just as a program, but also specifically at quarterback because they are still in a situation where they could use another experienced quarterback to back Williams up like Kai Horton did last season.

No question about it; the news of UW quarterback Demond Williams Jr to the transfer portal hit the college football world like a ton of bricks. It was unexpected and it will have ripple effects not just for Washington, but the college football world moving forward. We haven't seen it often, but it's going to happen more and more That sounds a bit hyperbolic, but that's how the Dawgman guys - Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund - see it. After getting their initial thoughts out on the news, how unexpected it was and the reaction not just from them but from sources in and around the UW program, they talk about next steps and what this means not just for Williams, but for UW Head Coach Jedd Fisch. Whether you thought the careers of Williams and Fisch were tied together for the 2026 season, you were likely wrong. With Black Monday creating a lot of NFL Head Coaching opportunities, does that mean Fisch will now be looking to leave UW too? Or does it mean Fisch now has the ability to attract another high-level quarterback, someone with the same potential as Williams?  And with ESPN's Pete Thamel reporting UW will use every available remedy to make sure Williams abides by the contract he just signed days ago, how can Demond ever come back to Montlake now? It sounds like the Big Ten Conference is getting involved too. On the outside, it feels like bridges are being burned by the hour. And lastly, what does this mean for UW now that they have a quarterback opening on their roster? Will the QB transfer dominoes reset? With this news, will other quarterbacks start looking seriously at Washington as a destination? And who could those quarterbacks be? Take everything said on the podcast with a grain of salt; this story is still very warm and continues to develop sidebars. It could very well be that some of the information talked about has already changed in a matter of hours. It's just beginning, so it's hard not to jump to some assumptions or conclusions based on the cursory evidence out there in the public eye.

Yeah, lots of players have already been declaring that they were planning to enter the portal, but on Friday, January 2nd, they can officially enter their names into the Transfer Portal. How many players are the Huskies likely to bring in and at what positions? Dawgman's Scott Eklund goes through the roster and where he thinks that the Husky coaching and personnel staff will be trying to bring players in to help the team...

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - spent Friday morning hashing out the latest public declarations when it comes to the impending transfer portal, what that means for the scholarship numbers moving forward, and then finish things up with a 'Battle For Seattle' preview. The 10 scholarship players that have publicly declared their intentions to enter the transfer portal when it opens up on January 2. WR Audric HarrisLB Deven BryantDL Bryce ButlerDB Dyson McCutcheonOL Davit BoyajyanDB Leroy BryantOL Zachary HenningDB Vincent HolmesWR Raiden Vines-BrightRB Adam Mohammed After a quick break to pay some bills, the guys go into the scholarship numbers as the coaches build their roster ahead of the 2026 season. Is the first big wave of portal declarations done? Or will there be another wave? Scott and Chris give their numbers in terms of players they expect Washington to nab from the portal, and what positions they expect to be prioritized. After that, the guys take a ride on the coaching carousel. Are the Jedd Fisch-to-Michigan rumors officially dead? And what about the assistants? Scott gives his take on Washington's first commit for the 2027 recruiting class, WR Braylon Pope, and then Kim and Chris finish the pod out with a preview of tonight's UW Hoops game versus Seattle U at Climate Pledge Arena in the yearly Battle For Seattle.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds in Los Angeles and Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund in Seattle - break down all the things that went right in UW's 38-10 win over Boise State, and where the team goes from here, especially knowing their head coach is apparently a wanted man.  From the Huskies' point of view, it was a brilliant night from start to finish, as all three phases did their part to keep the Mountain West Champs at bay. The guys talked about that, as well as these other topics... - Demond Williams, his four-touchdown night and his ceiling going into 2026 - Balanced play on offense and a good way for Jonah Coleman to finish off his college career.  - Ryan Walters really stepping up to created a strong Washington defense, especially as the season went on.  - Turnovers were a big reason for UW jumping out to a big halftime lead and kept the lead growing.  - Jedd Fisch said he's coming back to Washington, but will that be true a week or two from now? And does Fisch to Michigan even make sense from a practical point of view at this point in time?

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds in LA and Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund in Seattle - got together early Saturday morning to break down the Bucked Up LA Bowl, Hosted by Gronk matchup between the Mountain West Champions Boise State Broncos and the Washington Huskies. Over the hour-plus pregame show, the guys hit on these topics: The bowl game atmosphere, knowing this is the last LA Bowl game that will be played.Boise State's offense versus Washington's defense.Injury concerns and possible opt-outs.Who could come back for Washington in 2026.If Demond Williams and the UW OL met expectations this season.Washington's defensive improvement under Ryan Walters over the course of the season.Washington's linebackers and getting Jacob Manu back for the game.The play of true frosh receiver Dezmen Roebuck.What UW fans should look for in the days and weeks after the game in terms of players coming and going, the portal, etc...Final Thoughts.

Just two weekends removed from their final game of the year, the Washington Huskies have the honor of playing on the opening Saturday of bowl season. The Mountain West Champions, Boise State, will be meeting the Dawgs in SoFi to compete for the Bucked Up LA Bowl Hosted by Gronk. Jack McCauley and Luke Mounger get together to preview one last Husky game for the 2025 season. The two former Dawgman interns rotate through their normal segments and crown Luke the champion of Betting B1G for 2025.
