Dot...Dot...Dawg (8/4)

The world is a funny place. If you didn't have Dots, what would you have? I'll tell you what: a cheap suit, a broken heart and an expiring subscription to Gentlemen's Quarterly.

• Andy Katz has a great article covering LoRo's unique global tour that he has planned for his Dawgs. The trip includes a visit to Aziz N'Dyiae's home country of Senegal and, as you will see, Romar is pulling out all the stops to make it a special journey for the team.
• IT is a true leader - and he's showing it.
• NBC Sports takes a look at the role CJ Wilcox will need to play in returning the roundball team to the Big Dance. He's ranked #38 on this NBA Draft Prospects list - a list that is remarkably light on PAC 12 talent.
  
• We all know that UW has the toughest schedule in the nation. Here is a quick-hit breakdown highlighting some key takeaways.
• Bob Condotta's "Top 10" is hitting its home stretch:
  #4 - a space-eating man-child
  #3 - a space-flying man-child
• The Seattle PI takes a look of their own at 10 Huskies to watch in 2012.
• Austin Seferian-Jenkins was #23 on Kevin Gemmell's top 25 in the PAC list. Apparently, he is not as important as this guy. Nah, he's not overhyped people. He's special.
• The Sporting News has their own (somewhat odd) top 25. UW is in it.
  
• Another Dawg is getting a shot ... and a contract ... in the NFL
  
  

  @sportspressnw @art_thiel former uw d end Everette Thompson will be signing with the Arizona Cardinals today....

• Jake Locker came back from a tough week and had a strong day yesterday. Sports Radio in Tennessee is about 65-35 "pro" on his odds of starting. I'm not buying it yet, but there is a wave rising out here. Here is a transcribed radio interview with Jake.
• Big things are expected of Donald Butler and the Chargers linebackers crew.
• Chris Polk is showing his power in his competition for the #3 position on the Eagles RB depth chart. He had the run of Eagles camp yesterday.
• Here is a nice review of the 49ers Safety position including an update on Dashon Goldson.
• Alameda Ta'amu got a little dinged up ... and a little messed with ... in Steelers camp.
• Finally, more Husky Gold. Mush, Dawgs, Mush!
