taylGood morning, Dawg fans! Though it feels to many as though Washington’s charmed 2016 season ended just yesterday, Chris Petersen and Co. are squarely focused on 2017, beginning with today’s signing of the newest freshmen class of purple-and-gold-clad gridiron warriors. We’ll keep this post up today as a running commentary and post links to commitment announcements as they come in. Be sure to share your thoughts in the comments!
