Happy Monday Dawg fans, and welcome to today’s Dots.

- “Washington volleyball team makes easy work of Hawaii to advance to NCAA tournament Sweet 16” (Terry Wood, Seattle Times)
Washington advances to its ninth Sweet 16 in the past 10 seasons after sweeping Hawaii. They move on to face No. 2 Texas next week in Austin. https://t.co/6WFjGHYaI7

- Alex Cook recovered from a frightening injury vs Arizona, in a season where he filled the role of punishing Safety - a role that had been vacant for a few years (a few years too long). He is one of several Huskies that have tweeted they will stay for 2022, following Kalen DeBoer’s hiring last week.
Appears UW safety Alex Cook will come back for a sixth year. https://t.co/MlUWf1mETV

- The first scholarship offer made by Kalen DeBoer was to a 4-star Louisiana RB who had recently de-committed from LSU. May be a long shot, but may also signal a change in recruiting away from the Chris Petersen approach of making relatively few offers.
Blessed to receive an offer to the University of Washington! #GoHuskies #ThePrepWay @CoachFranklin9 @CallMeCoach_11 @TonyCitizen5 @FLHarrison3 @CoachPipe15 @samspiegs pic.twitter.com/irp4U6AHH9

- Along with the intrigue of Jake Haener possibly transferring back to the place he lost the QB competition in 2019, this news turned some heads as well:
New UW head coach Kalen DeBoer was Penix’s offensive coordinator and QB coach at Indiana in 2019. Could be hypothetically interesting. https://t.co/i68Lxc9BsG

My attempt to explain why the @pac12 believes expanding the College Football Playoffs beyond 4 teams would be good for our student athletes. The benefits for college football fans and the sport itself is obvious. https://t.co/wjv2y9Vr7D

Former Husky punter @joelwhit12 will play for the 108th Grey Cup next Sunday. Hamilton is hosting the final this year, so it'll be a home game. https://t.co/d9014J8sP0
