Around SBN: Troubled Yankees Join Troubled Red Sox In Last Place

Quote of the day

Jerry Brewer of the Seattle Times was at practice yesterday and he came away with a lot of positive impressions.

As a result, the Huskies are a loose bunch displaying a fire rarely seen in their games last season. If you parachuted into Husky Stadium from out of nowhere and someone told you this was a bowl team, you wouldn't laugh.

ESPN's Ted Miller will eventually pop in to survey what is going on at Montlake and the Tedster has one of the keenest eyes in the game. It will be interesting to read his impressions once he has a chance to view a practice.

Every single person I know that has been to practice has come away impressed at this point. It has been a long time since that happened on the shores of Montlake.

Kudo's to Lear for the excellent practice report yesterday!

Ben Riva decides to be a Husky

Reports are coming in that O'Dea HS OT Ben Riva verbaled to the Husky staff after practice last night. It was just confirmed over at Dawgman. Riva is one of the highest rated offensive lineman in the state. The thing that sticks out with this kid is speed. He runs a five flat forty and has the type of size you like to have out on the edge.

Speed on the edge is critical these days since offensive tackles are going up against defensive ends who run in the 4.7 - 4.9 range.

Big Ben Riva!

Huge PU for the DAWGS!! This kid is listed at 6’7"! That length, and just as importantly his quickness, will be invaluable out on the edge. That tackle position has got to be one of the most important and toughest positions to play on the offensive line. GO DAWGS!! WOO! HOO!

Players that will never play

Who are the players that are never going to play? And which running backs could play another position if they are not in the rotation?

Hey that's the reality of competition...

…you either step up, wait your turn, switch positions or transfer. It’s not different than anywhere else.

Like I have been saying

I expect Coach Sark to get every single player he wants in state this season. What is remarkable is how quickly and early this class is filling up.

Aaron Dunn

Dunn might be the lone exception.

Did he have an offer?

You can’t get all of them and sometimes they don’t have offers. It’s a balance between the guys in state that you’re going after and the out of state kids.

Dunn

I suppose but he is from Spokane. He may have been born to be a Coug.
