NCAA Football: North Dakota at Washington

Fall football camp is the topic on the minds of most UW fans. The predominant story-line thus far has been the QB battle between Jacob Eason and Jake Haener. Sunday was a big day for Eason, while Haener wobbled with some interceptions. For more on their performances, and some uplifting details on how two defensive-linemen earned scholarships, check out Christian Caple’s most recent post from The Athletic ($$).

For some of us, the move has been three years in the making. This fall, Benning Potoa’e will finally line up as a true defensive lineman rather than the Pac-12’s most humongous linebacker. Scott Hanson from the Seattle Times has the backstory.

If you prefer pictures over words, here is an outstanding photo album from the first week of fall camp. The white practice jerseys are worth the price of admission.

Some say recruiting is out of control when high school players name their top 8 or 10 schools. If you share that opinion, avert your eyes from this top 15 list from a 2021 TE recruit.

Even with football less than a month away, it’s not too early to start getting excited about hoops.

Mike Hopkins tells me he's never been around a player as talented for his size as Washington freshman Jaden McDaniels (6-9). Should be a menace for the Huskies defensively in the 2-3 zone.
