#Woof!: Huskies Land Their First Transfer of the Cycle

In a quiet move, Sam Houston State OL Kolt Dieterich updated his social media not with a big post announcing his commitment, but by simply stating in his profile that he is an OL at UW Football. Seems like enough validation to me! Dieterich took a visit to Montlake this past weekend and the Huskies […]

Recruiting Roundup: Taking A Look At Some Transfer Portal Targets

Happy Sunday Husky fans. With the transfer portal in full swing I wanted to take a look at some of the targets and visitors that the Huskies are after.

Transfer Portal Tracker 2.0

The transfer portal is officially open. And within 10 minutes had over 1,000 players entered. Just over 12 hours later and there are apparently more than 4,000.

Reviewing the 2025 UW Football Goals

Back in February I published a set of goals for UW to achieve this year. As I said back then, competing in the Big Ten Championship game and getting into the CFP should be goals-this year and every year; but I was looking at goals that I thought were more realistic. It turns out that […]

WBB Takes Down #6 Michigan

UW Women’s basketball beat #6 Michigan 64-52 on New Year’s Day in a key win for the program in front of an electric home crowd.

2026 Sample Transfer Portal Add List

The transfer portal officially opens on Friday in what promises to be a day (and month) filled with complete chaos. The powers that be decided that there will not be a spring portal cycle this year which means we get it all jammed into two weeks right now. It also means that there officially haven’t […]

Kepnang blocks six shots, Huskies down Utes 74-65

In its final outing of the calendar year, Washington (9-4, 1-1) toppled the visiting Utah Utes (8-5) 74-65. The Monday evening victory marks the final bout with a non-Big Ten squad for the remainder of the regular season.  Now winners of its last two, Washington has recovered well from what was a potentially season-staggering loss […]

Wesley Yates III has wrist surgery, out indefinitely

An injury bug that bit Danny Sprinkle’s Huskies prior to the start continues to infest the locker room. Sprinkle reportedly informed Field of 68 that Wesley Yates III is out indefinitely after having surgery on his wrist. Losing Yates is significant. He is on the floor more than any other Husky as the team’s leader […]

Q&A With 4 Star 2027 UW Target Sione Kaho

Happy Monday Husky fans. I got a chance to catch up with 4 star quarterback Sione Kaho yesterday to talk about where he is at in his recruitment and interest in UW. The Huskies have extended several offers to quarterbacks in the 2027 class, but Kaho appears to be at the top of the board. […]

Huskies Have Work To Do As Big Ten Play Nears

A clash with Utah is all that sits between Washington and the program’s second deep dive into Big Ten conference play. Husky Nation entered this season with higher expectations than previous years, let alone last year’s headache of a campaign, but hopefulness has shifted to worry. Early December was promising for the Huskies. A close […]

Reviewing Big Ten Preseason Predictions

A common pastime for fans and pundits during the lead-up to a football season is to predict win-loss records and even game-by-game wins/losses. Game-By-Game Before the season started, I recorded the game-by-game predictions of each game for all of the Big Ten teams, and below you’ll see the results. Note that sites like ESPN update […]

Reviewing the 2025 Transfer Portal Rankings

For the last several years I have been putting out my numbers-based transfer portal rankings. The job of doing it has gotten harder as there are more entries every year but I’ve done my best to figure out ways to streamline the process. The objective is to try to put out rankings that are based […]

Monday Dots: What do you want for Xmas?

Happy Monday Dawg fans, and welcome to today’s Dots. It was a quiet weekend for Husky football, with no new names in the Portal, and no new coaching rumors.
