If you want to keep up-to-date with news concerning the football program all in one easy-to-digest format, feel free to follow me on Twitter and to subscribe to my lists of UW's beat reporters, Washington athletes, Washington coaches, and Washington football prospects. To the Dots!
Football Dots
- Paul Myerberg of USA Today kicks off his Pac-12 spring preview with a look at Chris Petersen's Huskies.
- ESPN's Erik McKinney checks in with 2017 five-star offensive guard and Washington target (along with everybody else) Wyatt Davis, who says he doesn't plan to announce his commitment anytime soon. It certainly doesn't hurt that Washington's players hailing from St. John Bosco, Wyatt's high school, include Sean McGrew, Will Shamburger and Keith Price. ($)
- Bill Connelly ranked the 25 best college football defenses of all time, and I'm sure it'll go over like a fart in church around here that the '91 Huskies were skunked while the '94 Cougars are featured in all their glory.
- Some interesting Husky alum developments are going down as we approach the silly season that is the NFL's free agency.
Seahawks WR Jermaine Kearse reiterated Thursday that he does not plan to return to Seattle and is looking forward to finding a new home.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 3, 2016LB Donald Butler and RB Donald Brown are interesting new free agents after being waived by the Chargers

Basketball Dots
- Percy rounds up the national media's reaction to Andrew Andrews' 47-point tour de force Wednesday night against the Cougars. Meanwhile, Christian Caple offers his own perspective on the milestone.
- Scott Eklund has a wonderful photo/video gallery from Andrew's senior night.
Misc. Dots
- The University of Washington will pay Parker Executive Search $105,000 for their assistance in deciding whom to hire as the university's next athletic director.
- Baseball coach Lindsay Meggs spoke to the media about his upcoming season; Dawgman.com has video and a transcript of the conversation, thanks to Chris Fetters.
