Dawgman Radio: A Washington Huskies athletics podcast 247Sports, Washington Huskies, Washington football, Washington Huskies athletics, Football, Baseball

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Huskies' ninth practice of the spring was mostly a scrimmage with the players and coaches getting in over 100 plays during the nearly two-hour and 30 minute workout. The guys from Dawgman.com -- Kim Grinolds, Harlan Grady and Scott Eklund -- were there and they talked about everything they saw from their seats in Husky Stadium.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - got together to talk about an eventful Day 8 of UW spring ball even though the team wasn't in full pads on Thursday. Does that likely mean full pads Saturday starting at 11 am? You would think so, but there's only one way to find that out. 
The talk started with the weather of the day - beautiful but blustery on the east field sandwiched between Husky Stadium and Lake Washington. As such, it was hard for the quarterbacks to develop much rhythm and timing, but that improved a lot as the day went on. Jeremiah Hunter had a very strong practice on offense, and Elijah Jackson - though wearing yellow on the day to typically signify no contact - had a strong day on defense with a couple of interceptions. And true freshman quarterback Demond Williams continued to show why fans should be excited for this fall - and there were a handful of others the guys mentioned as having stood out during the 150-minute workout. 
After talk on practice, the chat turned to the transfer portal after a quick break (news of D'Angalo Titialii's commit took place after we recorded this podcast). More players entered the portal Thursday and that trend will continue through April 30. And then that's roughly the same time Washington will look to fill open roster spots, especially along the offensive line. Scott and Chris talked about that process, as well as why things aren't happening as quickly as maybe they were laid out a week ago. 
There should definitely be more visitors coming for Saturday's practice and Scott will hopefully have a list of who we believe is expected on Montlake this weekend. But as always in the transfer portal era, news chances fast, even by the hour - so be patient!
