The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds in Las Vegas and Chris Fetters in Seattle - break down Washington's 80-74 Pac-12 Tournament first round loss to USC, how they'll view the Mike Hopkins era now that it's over, and how Troy Dannen will now react to the coaching carousel knowing it's about to jump into high gear here in the next week.

To start the podcast off, Kim set the scene in Vegas pregame and then the guys gave their takes as to what went well for UW, what didn't go well, and what ultimately mattered in the Huskies' 6-point loss to USC.

Kim was also on hand to watch the postgame press conference with Hopkins and senior forward Keion Brooks, the emotion from Hop as things wrapped up, and Kim also added a couple of his favorite Hop moments over the years now that things have come to a close after seven seasons and an overall winning percentage of 52.7 percent.

After a quick break, talk turns to Washington Athletic Director Troy Dannen. What direction will Dannen take when it comes to Washington's next men's basketball coach? Has he already found his man in Utah State's Danny Sprinkle? And how difficult will it be for Dannen to work behind the scenes knowing the coaching carousel is just warming up and a lot of other coaching vacancies are going to appear in the coming days?

The guys then give their final thoughts on Hop, as well as Brooks.

It's been a busy day for Men's Hoops on Montlake with the announcement that Washington and Mike Hopkins are set to part ways after the conclusion of the 2023-24 season, so Kim Grinolds and Chris Fetters of Dawgman.com got together to share some immediate thoughts on the news.

Was it a surprise? No. Was it still a bit of a shock? Maybe the timing of it was a little strange with the Pac-12 Tournament coming up next week, but the reality was this news that had already happened and it was simply a matter of making it known to the world.

So now what happens? What happens to Hop's staff? Kim and Chris discuss what they think will happen to Will Conroy, Jerry Hobbie, Quincy Pondexter, and Ben Lee, and what the odds are they stay with a new staff.

They also talk about the possibility of who stays from the roster, especially if UW's new head coach decides to keep any of the current assistants - especially Conroy and/or Lee.

What is a player like Koren Johnson going to do? Franck Kepnang? Braxton Meah? Wesley Yates? Nate Calmese? Christian King?

After a quick break the guys start talking about potential replacements, starting with the insider favorite, current Utah State Head Coach Danny Sprinkle. Talk of Sprinkle taking over at UW has been publicly known for a couple of weeks now; is it just the initial chat of a coaching search that will wind its way through a number of candidates? Or is it the talk of those who know Sprinkle is not only the leading candidate, but also the overwhelming favorite to take the job?

And if it isn't Sprinkle, who is at the top of Dawgman's wish list? We have a couple in mind. Here's a hint; his first name starts with a T and his last name ends with an R. 

And to wrap things up, Kim and Chris talk about next week's Pac-12 Tournament. Can UW pull the shocker of all shockers and win the whole thing? And could the Pac-12 teams that are invited to the NCAA Tournament surpass expectations?

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - caught up after a really busy NFL Scouting Combine this past weekend where 11 Washington Huskies worked out in front of every pro team at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

Two UW invitees - Jack Westover and Zion Tupuola-Fetui - were healing up from injuries sustained during the 2023 season and did not test or work out. But for the other 11 that did - Rome Odunze, Troy Fautanu, Michael Penix Jr, Bralen Trice, Ja'Lynn Polk, Roger Rosengarten, Jalen McMillan, Dillon Johnson, Dominique Hampton, Edefuan Ulofoshio, and Devin Culp - they ran the gamut from outstanding to head-scratching. But all the Huskies showed themselves to be worthy invitees.

Using the NFL.com draft grades as a basis for running down the order - Kim, Chris, and Scott give their thoughts on each player, how they did in their testing and on-field drills, and also how they may have impacted their pro recruitment off the field.

After going through all 13 players with analysis on each in terms of how they did at the combine, Scott finished up the podcast with a recruiting update on what the new UW coaching staff has been up to on the trail, how they're going to mix recruiting into spring ball and beyond, and also his thoughts on Washington's newest commitments - OL Michael Watkins and TE Charlie Crowell. Watkins and Crowell had both signed letters of intent to play at Arizona before getting out of their letters when Jedd Fisch left Tucson for Seattle and the University of Washington.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - have been away from their microphones for a minute, hoping this craziness from the portal and the coaching carousel would die down to a small roar, but that never really happened.

To start the nearly hour-long podcast, the guys talk about Jedd Fisch and putting together his new staff at Washington, delving specifically into his last two hires on the defensive side of the ball with DC Steve Belichick and Safeties Coach Vinnie Sunseri.

That conversation moved into the chat of the weekend, which revolved around Fisch and reports he had interviewed with the UCLA brass ahead of their head coaching hire and also their takes on the news that the Seattle Seahawks were bringing Ryan Grubb and Scott Huff back from their short stay in Tuscaloosa to the Emerald City.

After a quick break they revisit the UCLA head coaching search and their hire - former Bruins running back DeShaun Foster. Will Foster's hire have ripple effects for UW through the portal?

Then the guys talk about the portal some more, how many scholarships Washington has to fill, and which positions might be targeted by the new UW staff in mid-April when the portal opens back up again.

Scott offers up a quick recruiting recap, including some news coming out of their recent Junior Day.

This weekend, most expected the Washington Huskies to host a good-sized group of underclassmen for their Junior Day. However, due to the coaching change several prospects have rescheduled their visits.
