DawgmanRadio: Observations from Day 6 of UW Spring Ball

Dawgman Radio: A Washington Huskies athletics podcast

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds and Chris Fetters - were at Husky Stadium Saturday afternoon to watch the Washington Huskies go through their paces during Day 6 of spring football. The day started out under beautiful Seattle skies but finished with rain. That didn't dampen the enthusiasm of the team, however, as they took part in a scrimmage to end practice that lasted at least a half an hour.

On offense, the running backs continued to show out, and because of a lack of available bodies at tight end it was Kade Eldridge, the USC transfer, that got plenty of turns to make his mark today. Kim and Chris talked about his day, as well as the day had by receiver Justice Williams, the redshirt freshman from Oaks Christian.

After a quick break the guys turn to the other side of the ball, and on defense it was once again a case for Elinneus Davis making some big plays, Utah transfer Simote Pepa getting the most work he's seen so far this spring, and also the emergence of Northern Arizona transfer safety Alex McLaughlin as a sure tackler as he singlehandedly brought down Jonah Coleman, Adam Mohammed, and Julian McMahan, UW's three big running backs.

Before the podcast ended, the guys had to talk about the run Danny Sprinkle and the men's basketball staff are having on the recruiting trail. In the last few days they got Wesley Yates III to return to Montlake after a year at USC, and then on Friday they received a commitment from Jasir Rencher, a wing from the Bay Area who had signed with Texas A&M but got out of his letter after Aggies Head Coach Buzz Williams left for Maryland.

How will the Huskies finish out their recruiting class? Does Sprinkle still have a trick or two up his sleeve? And will Quincy Pondexter come back to coach at UW?
