DawgmanRadio: Recapping an incredibly busy week on Montlake

Dawgman Radio: A Washington Huskies athletics podcast

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - found some time at the end of an incredibly busy week to recap all the comings and goings on Montlake.

To start, the guys give their thoughts on the passing of one of our favorite posters, David Handy - otherwise known as AANDY. His Meanderings became the stuff of message board legend, and he will be sorely missed.

Talk then turned to all the happenings on campus this week, headlined by Washington State Athletic Director Pat Chun moving from Pullman to Seattle to become UW's new AD. As you could expect, nerves are somewhat raw on the other side of the state. And the influence of former AD Jen Cohen continues to resonate with the hiring of Chun, who tripled fundraising efforts while at WSU and brought them championship-level coaches.

Right as Chun was being introduced as Washington's 17th Director of Athletics, 19 former UW football players took part in their Pro Day at the Dempsey Indoor Facility. The guys talked about who had a big day, starting with QB Michael Penix Jr, who ran - depending on whose stopwatch you trust - anywhere from 4.45 to 4.6 in the 40-yard dash.

Why has the draft world suddenly come to the conclusion that Penix is a first round lock? The guys ended up talking to 13 of the 19 players who took part and they give their stories and thoughts on some of the players they spoke to.

After a quick break the talk turned back to the current comings and goings with respect to UW Football and the Wednesday pre-spring press conference with Jedd Fisch, Brennan Carroll, and Steve Belichick. What stood out? It's probably not what you might expect.

Later Wednesday afternoon came the introductory press conference for new UW Men's Basketball Coach Danny Sprinkle. Kim and Chris were both on hand; what were their takeaways from the event?

Scott then offered up the latest recruiting news, starting with arguably the biggest news that was overlooked in a week full of news; the verbal commitment of 2025 running back Julian McMahan. He also talked about upcoming official visits and more as recruiting continues to heat up to coincide with spring ball.
