Football Dots:
- The big news over the weekend was that starting WR Puka Nacua had entered the transfer portal despite returning for winter work outs after previous transfer rumors. It should be noted that Nacua has not officially transferred yet, and there’s an outside chance that we are able to retain him.

- On the brightside (queue The Killers with your morning coffee), Taj Davis is back with the team for winter work outs
Looks like WR Taj Davis visible in this clip. Had opted out of the 2020 season but is the only 1 of the 3 opt outs listed on the official roster at the moment so certainly appears he's back. WR room needed the depth. https://t.co/Ow0ToECIDO

- Mike Vorel of the Seattle Times did a good job putting all of the off-season roster moves into perspective
The irony of UW's offensive transfer portal departures is they've come exclusively at two positions, QB and WR. The team returns every single scholarship player at OL, RB and TE.

Of this group, Bynum, Spiker, Osborne, Odunze, McMillan and Tinae were all four-star prospects, and Polk had a big freshman season at Texas Tech. UW still has talented wide receivers, but they're young. The question is how quickly that core will develop.

- Christian Caple with the Athletic ($) gave a good run down of where the Huskies would stand without Nacua
With Puka Nacua transferring, the time is now for Rome Odunze, Jalen McMillan and the rest of UW’s young receiver room.https://t.co/si9ix1rBP9

- A number of UW commits got to kick off their senior seasons this past weekend. Even yours truly got in on the action doing color commentary for one of this weekend’s HS broadcasts (thankfully for a team without a UW commit and probably to an audience of 5).

- Finally, ICYMI, “The Gang Tries to Predict Some Stuff”
No but for real we have no idea who even qualifies for this question, much less who’s the right answer https://t.co/L1lmwQpfjJ
