- 247 put together a system to determine which schools were the best at developing players into NFL Draft picks from the 2010-2014 classes and the Huskies ranked 11th; a ranking you can expect to rise over the next few seasons.
- The Dawgman guys have a new recruiting podcast with updates of what to expect going into the “Spring Game”.
- Bad news for a former Dawg
Free-agent LB Azeem Victor, a No. 6 pick of Raiders last year who spent time on Bucs and Seahawks practice squads, has been suspended by the NFL for the first 10 games of the 2019 season.

Basketball Dots
- ESPN came out with their final basketball recruiting rankings for 2019 and Husky commit Isaiah Stewart was one of the risers, climbing to #3 overall.
- Jonathan Givony also has an updated 2020 NBA Mock Draft with Stewart going 10th and still uncommitted Husky prospect Jaden McDaniels going 7th.
- The Athletic also put out a 2020 NBA Mock Draft and is pretty much in agreement with Stewart 10th and McDaniels 6th.
- When might McDaniels commit? Your guess is as good as anyone’s, including his trainer and a leading recruiting expert.
He told me on Friday he will probably just show up on somebody's campus. I think he was only half joking.
