How we doing with transfers to fill out the line?
Danny Sprinkle got a big man in the transfer portal for us in KC Ibekwe, who will be junior next year at UW with 2 years of eligibility left. He's a 6'10" 287 pound big man who is known for being strong around the rim at both ends of the floor with his offensive rebounding, post moves, and shot blocking. Unfortunately, he also struggled a lot, as he struggles to pass the ball, can't shoot free throws, gets into foul trouble easily, and has issues with his athleticism/conditioning.
I personally think that he will probably be a backup for us, as he hasn't been able to handle big minutes in his career and has a limited skillset. I am hoping we can still find a starting-level big man in the portal soon for basketball.
Hoping the best of luck for Danny Sprinkle and the men's basketball team during this transitional period!
Here are some of KC Ibekwe's stats(both traditional and advanced) over the last two years:

Lets go DAWGS lets get over 10 total drafted today!!! WOOF WOOF
Do you guys think we will be better than people think? (9-3) or worse? If so why?
That Washington 🤝 Tampa Bay connection.
I want to make a top ten list of his best plays. What would you put up there?
This is factoring in how big of a moment it was.
It seems like a QB hierarchy has already been established at UW. Will Rogers seems like the current starter and Demond Williams is the backup who will start next year.
This news has led to Derimarcus Davis entering the transfer portal:https://twitter.com/chris_hummer/status/1783912959841915053
UW currently has only 2 QB's on scholarship, which isn't enough for the season.
How do you feel about that? Who do you want UW to look at from recruiting/the transfer portal?
i dont mind paying for a service, i just dont know where to find them.
Here's a google doc predicting where I believe that every UW Husky should go in this year's draft! YOu should be able to access it! Hope you enjoy and GO HUSKIES!!! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fNf6PlWGN0ZFbbEaldlPO4G0VvteyD0bsZzQgFXr_X8/edit
Reports are coming out that Zoom Diallo has re-committed to UW and Coach Sprinkle. It was widely assumed he'd follow Coach Conroy down to USC so this is big.
The backcourt is coming together nicely the last few days.
Please use this thread for all things related to former Dawgs being drafted, rather than make new posts. We will update the list as the draft progresses. Go Dawgs!

This article just randomly appeared in my MSN newsfeed. I thought nothing of it, never even heard of the guy, until I saw the background and the UW gear. Crazy lol.

Huge fan of this addition to UW. He's an efficient, high-volume shooter who should work well as a secondary playmaker. He has improved his production each year and did well at a P6 school(Big East). Should bring a veteran to a team that is likely to be pretty young next year. I think he will either start or be a sixth man for us. Very excited to see what Sprinkle will do to this team after years of Hopkins sucking.
A couple website to show his stats.

We added Miami Offensive Line transfer but lots are saying he's for the D-Line. What we got on this guy?
For those who might not know, Coach Pete Carroll had a basketball hoop in the Seahawks meeting room. And the team would hold shootout tournaments all the time.
