247's Greg Biggins stops by to chat with the Dawgman's Scott Eklund to discuss recruiting. With the 2024 recruiting cycle winding down on February 7th, National Signing Day, and Washington still looking to fill out their roster with high school and portal players, there is a lot to talk about.
Biggins starts things off by going in depth on his impressions of new Husky head coach Jedd Fisch and his staff's abilities as recruiters and why Washington fans need to give them some time to work their magic with talent acquisition.
They discuss two 2024 signees and early enrollees -- Dermaricus Davis and Khmori House -- who entered the portal, but have since recommitted to the Huskies as well as three others -- OL Paki Finau, DL Ratumana Bulabalavu and DB Peyton Waters -- who are still mulling over their options and wideout Justice Williams who hasn't made any public statements since the new coaching staff was named.
Finally, after a break, Biggins gives his thoughts on Washington's newest commitment, 2025 Chapparal (Temecula, Ca.) QB Dash Beierly, and what he brings to the table after watching him throw the past couple of years.

DawgmanRadio: A Conversation With 247's Greg Biggins

DawgmanRadio is a comprehensive look at the latest Washington Huskies football, basketball, and recruiting news, with insight and analysis from Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund.

Sports

Football

Basketball

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - wrapped up Friday night's 'Dawgs After Dark' at Husky Stadium by recording some of their own thoughts on the night, the attendance, what they saw during the roughly 75-play scrimmage, the standouts, and what the next few weeks and months are going to look like for UW Football as they continue to construct their roster and put things in place ahead of the 2024 season.
To start, the guys talked about the atmosphere at Husky Stadium, having the spring game at night (it was a good idea and probably should continue to be done at night), how the game went, some of the standout plays, and also offered up some very unofficial statistics.
After a quick break, the second half of the podcast mostly centered around recruiting, which was a focal point of the night, and will consume the UW staff's every movement for the next few weeks as they hit the road to find players for the 2025 class and beyond, while still having one eye on what's going on at home due to the transfer portal, setting up official visits, etc...

DawgmanRadio: Our thoughts on UW spring ball and 'Dawgs After Dark'

Practice moved into the Dempsey Indoor Facility this week as the team continues to prepare for 'Dawgs After Dark'. Former UW players expected to be there for 'Dawgs After Dark' Friday night: Marcus Peters, Vita Vea, Shaq Thompson, Danny Shelton, Jake Locker, and more are expected to be announced during the week.
Now that Washington is into its final week of spring football, there's a feeling the team is using this week like a game week. So starting this Monday, the Huskies are practicing in shells and shorts and practice was moved into the Dempsey Indoor Facility.
After a Saturday scrimmage, that meant a lot of install and prep work for the Huskies, but not a ton to talk about for the media. So what that meant today was that the guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Scott Eklund, and Jack McCauley - didn't have a ton to talk about in terms of team periods and competition.
But that didn't stop the guys from talking about a few of the most memorable plays during Monday's practice, as well as a few memorable appearances from some VIPs and recruits.
Kim also talked a bit about the two pieces of hoops news that came out Monday; Franck Kepnang's return and also the signing of former UC Irvine and Butler guard D.J. Davis.

DawgmanRadio: Day 13 brings more focus on fundamentals for UW Football

Over the past three days, 10 Huskies were taken in the NFL Draft. That being the case, it was easy to forget the Washington's current players were being run through a two-hour scrimmage that featured several big plays on both sides of the ball and the guys from Dawgman -- Harlan Grady, Kim Grinolds and Scott Eklund -- broke it all down for you in today's podcast.
They started by discussing the battle for the starting job at quarterback between Will Rogers and Demond Williams. 
Grinolds asked if there was any chance that Williams started this season and they went on to discuss how that may or may not happen. 
They also went through some of the big plays from the practice that featured close to 100 plays and included interceptions by Jacob Bandes and Carson Bruener as well as some physical runs by Jonah Coleman, Daniyel Ngata and Adam Mohammed.
The final portion of the podcast was dedicated to the NFL Draft as the Huskies had 10 players selected with linebacker Edefuan Ulofoshio (Buffalo), safety Dominique Hampton (Washington) and tight end Devin Culp (Tampa Bay) all being selected on the third day.

DawgmanRadio: Talking Washington's Saturday Scrimmage And Dawgs In The Draft

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds and Chris Fetters - were joined by former intern Jack McCauley and current intern Harlan Grady to form a quorum and put their thoughts down after a spirited Day 11 of spring football inside the Dempsey Indoor Facility.
For the most part, the talk in the first half was about the offensive standouts, especially with there being some live football the coaches sprinkled in during practice to keep things interesting.
Kim's player of the day was Rashid Williams, and the redshirt freshman from the Bay Area certainly made some strong plays. In fact, the whole receiving corps looked rock solid going up against some really good defensive backs, and that competition was something to watch all day long.
The talk also turned to the running backs, as the media was able to talk to new RB Coach Scottie Graham, as well as running backs Cameron Davis and Jonah Coleman. The guys talked about them, as well as true freshman Adam Mohammed, who has become one of the real spring surprises.
After a quick break, there was some hoops news Kim wanted to get to, as Danny Sprinkle picked up his second guard from the portal and third overall ahead of the 2024-25 season in former UC-Irvine and Butler guard D.J. Davis. The guys talk about what Davis should bring to the mix and Kim hints at the next steps for Sprinkle and company as they continue to remake the roster.

DawgmanRadio: The interns have their say after an eventful day 11 of spring ball

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - were at spring practice number 10 Tuesday under beautiful blue skies and ideal practice conditions, but the conditions weren't all that ideal for those not participating. Why? Because it was another shells and shorts practice, which means more cleanup, install, and fundamental work, and less full scrimmaging.
It feels like the team is replicating last week's practice schedule, which means two days in shells and shorts and then a full scrimmage on Saturday. So that means there wasn't a ton to talk about with regard to what we saw on the east field today.
But that doesn't mean there aren't things happening around the program. The transfer portal has been open for a week, and there's another week to go before this particular window closes. And that also means players that have entered the portal are starting to find landing spots, starting to set up official visits, and starting to get a feel for what their NIL opportunities will be.
The guys talk about that, as well as some very specific portal targets, like former SMU OL Marcus Bryant and ASU WR Elijah Badger.
And the Huskies have already gotten a couple of portal commits in OL D'Angalo Titialii and DL Logan Sagapolu, and many more are expected to come.
Kim also updated us on some of the comings and goings with UW Men's Basketball and new head coach Danny Sprinkle. He's picked up a couple of commits as well, but there's also been a number of players enter the portal.
