Football Dots

• The Athletic writes about former UW safety and Newport High baseball standout Tripper Johnson who is now a baseball agent and represents a top-5 pick in last week’s MLB draft.
• ESPN put together their full Future Power Rankings and the Huskies are 8th overall which is the top mark in the Pac-12. UW had previously ranked 11th for QBs, 16th for offense, and 9th for defense.
• Softy has an interview with Jimmy Lake discussing a variety of topics.
• Athlon ranked the starting QB for every FBS program and presumed UW starter Jacob Eason was slotted in at 5th in the conference and just outside the top-25 overall.
• Dawgman has a trip report with Texas OLB Cooper McDonald who was in Seattle last weekend on an official visit.
• They also caught up with local class of 2021 4-star Will Latu who finally got his UW offer this past week after working hard to get his academics where they needed to be.
• The crystal balls are starting to turn purple for 4-star OT Roger Rosengarten who also took an official last weekend and is down to his final 2 of UW and Oregon.

Basketball Dots

• UW commit Isaiah Stewart provides his last high school blog entry for USA Today and discusses his excitement for joining Washington and how he’s looking forward to playing for USA Basketball this summer.
• CBS Sports updated their mock draft with UW stars Matisse Thybulle and Jaylen Nowell both getting drafted.
• Sports Illustrated’s updated mock has Matisse joining fellow Washington class of 2015 star Dejounte Murray and Jaylen Nowell going to Indiana which seems like a good fit.
• Former Husky and Seattle Rotary coach Jamaal Williams compares former Rotary player and incoming Husky Marcus Tsohonis to Nigel Williams-Goss in his comments to Dawgman.

Other Dots

• The Seattle Times shows that former UW senior associate athletic director Roy Shick was allowed to move on to a new school after an investigation found unwanted sexual contact with a student athlete. Very disappointed in the University.
