PrintWe look like a great football team...We are a better team at this point than last year.
Fans will see a better conditioned football team.
We expect to do well...we expect to win.
Last years goal was to be competitive and show we can battle. This years goal is to play well in hostile environments, in the fourth quarter, and play for a championship.
DE Brett Williams is going to gray shirt and join the team winter quarter. Sark says that he isn't physically ready to do what they need him to do. What that means is he has to get bigger and stronger. S John Timu will also enroll in January.
S Justin Glenn will be limited a bit because of his ankle. Aldrich, Glenn, and Thompson are ready to go but they will be monitoring them closely. The coaches want to bring those guys along slowly.
Sark thinks Jake will complete 65-68 % of his passes this fall. Expects his TD to interception ratio to be 3-1.
Excited to see Greg Ducre...describes him a lock down corner and says he is where Desmond Trufant was going into camp last year.
Feels really good about the offensive line. Feels they have nine veterans they can roll with in addition to the seven freshmen.
TE Chris Izbicki had the best offseason of anyone on the team.
Walk on Evan Hudson will start off at at TE and is also a long snapper
Sark describes Alameda Taamu as a new man. He is really excited to see him on the field this fall. Sark thinks the defensive line will be fine.
Josh Shirley is up to 225. He will be used as a pass rusher. His main gun is speed.
People are proud to be Huskies and that is a good feeling.
All the freshman will be given the opportunity to compete to play this year.

Roster Mistakes
On the official fall camp roster they list Shirley at 210? Callier who I thought was a much smaller back is listed at 5’10" 205. Lagafauina looks to do some damage inside at 6’ 344.
I saw Mike King listed but no stats, anyone know how he measures up. I was hoping Montana would add a little weight but I guess that’s a work still in progress? How about Jamal Kearse? He’s listed at 6’2" 230! True freshman mind you! GO DAWGS!!

Brent Williams
Very interesting news about him greyshirting. With the recent defections there’s room under the 85 man limit for him, so this isn’t a roster management issue. Makes me wonder if Sark had a conversation with Williams when he offered him about his size and broaching the possibility of him sitting out a year to get bigger.
The kid has undeniable skills in getting around OT’s, but he’s also really skinny for a DE. Hopefully he takes the year as a good opportunity to improve himself and doesn’t leave for another school…
If I remember correctly Williams is young for his class so they may be just giving him another six months to put on some size.

If it's true he weighed 186...
…then he’s actually a pound less than what he weighed at an LA combine a year ago. That’s not good for a 17-year old that should be putting on natural weight without really trying, never mind an athlete that should be hitting the weights pretty hard.
Didn’t his HS coaches move him to more of a stand-up OLB his senior season? At 6-2, he’d need 40 pounds of good weight to play linebacker, and 50 or 60 to play end. Minimum. It’s going to be tough.
I wouldn’t be at all surpised if your theory is correct, kirkd.
Sark
I love everything about the guy! You look at him in that picture as he leading the DAWGS out of the tunnel and you can see the fire and leadership. The way he handles the himself with the media, the administration, the players…we’re very lucky to have him guys.

Is considerably bigger too and you know when they’re being trained by Ivan Lewis, it’s muscle! Did you guys watch the spring game? During the hot dog eating contest Lewis pulled off his shirt and my wife swooned! I had to rush over and try and revive her…I know what you’re thinking, no jokes guys!
