Football Dots
- The Huskies came in at #13 in the AP Poll which was released yesterday. 5 Pac-12 teams made the rankings which was the 3rd most among all conferences.
- Christian Caple profiles Joe Tryon who seems to be the Huskies’ best hope of scrapping together an above average pass rush in 2019.
- Lauren Kirschman writes that CB Kyler Gordon is finally developing the technique to match his freakish athleticism.
- Jacob Eason cracks the top-10 of Bill Connelly’s 25 most important players of the college football season.
"It's coming together really well. Everyone has good days and bad days, but every time we have a bad day, we bounce back." - @UW_Football DB Elijah Molden#GoHuskies x #PurpleReign

- Cam Williams makes 247’s preseason true freshman All-American team. And post-Mitch Wishnowsky era, so does Utah’s punter. Grumble grumble.
- Steve Wiltfong writes that new UW verbal commit Jacobe Covington has an alpha dog personality.
- A cool look at the recruiting ranking of each Pac-12 school by position group where the Huskies rank in the top-5 of every category:
This looks at 24/7 avg rating by position group by conference for the Pac-12. Pretty impressive what Cal what they're doing on defense without top end recruits on that side of the ball.

- The Huskies failed to make the Top-5 for 5-star PG Daishen Nix and appear to be in for a very quiet 2020 recruiting class barring some major changes.
