Happy Monday Husky Fans!
I hope y’all were able to get out and enjoy the best part of Seattle weather this weekend, and I know a number of you were able to take in some Husky sports too. It was a busy weekend for the Dawgs, so let’s dive right in.
To the Dots!
Football Dots:
- Week 2 of Spring Practice is in the books, and by the looks of it, there are a number of players that are making “the leap”. ICYMI, our very own Max Vrooman had the scoops from practice, and some other folks had some good notes from practice too.
The tight ends were busy. The pass rush excelled. Here are observations from UW's seventh practice of the spring: https://t.co/NffyKPVtIy

- As Aaron keeps reminding us, recruiting never truly stops, and ICYMI last week, the staff put out an offer to 2023 Caleb Presley (DB, 6-0, 170) out of Eastside Catholic this past week. Presley is a prototypically-built, silky smooth athlete with instincts & an edge that will certainly attract blue blood offers, and he could be the next Trent McDuffie-type instant impact player. His offer brings our count up to 4 in-state offers for the 2023 recruiting class.

- On the topic of in-state recruiting, Mike Martin had a great piece this weekend on how Myles Gaskin’s storied career left a lasting impression on a number of talented running backs that UW is now pursuing on the recruiting trail.
@MylesGAS is the gift that keeps on giving. Some of the nation's best RBs are here in Western Wa over the next few years. Here's my story of @jayden_limar @IsaiahCarlson4 @DjouvenskyS and @Jasonbrown2024. They all grew up watching the @UW_Football legend. https://t.co/ZQsR0PGAcz

- One of the RBs that Mike featured was Jason Brown a RB out of O’Dea in the 2024 class, who already holds a UW offer. Brown this past weekend led O’Dea to a Metro League Championship with 247 yards and 3 TDs. This is a guy that can ball.
Highlights of O'Dea's 49-7 win over Seattle Prep in the Metro title game. The Irish run for 531 yards, 247 for Jason Brown. https://t.co/nGdYAumZCu @ODeaAthletics @seaprepsports @AthleticsMetro #wiaa

Softball Dots:
- The Softball team wrapped up a 4-game series against the #4 Quacks from down south with a 3-1 record. Our Dawgs now stand at 34-6 on the season, and star pitcher Gabbie Plain is now a remarkable 23-0 on the season.
Another series win for the Dawgs.

Basketball Dots:
- The Basketball team got a shot in the arm over the weekend with a pair of commitments. Emmitt Matthews Jr. is a 6-7 SF who’s from Tacoma and arrives on Montlake via West Virginia.

- The other commitment we landed this weekend is from Tyler Linhardt out of King’s HS. Linhardt is listed on 247 as a PF, but at 6-7 he could occupy either of the Forward positions.
