Washington Huskies Football Wide Receivers

The Washington Huskies currently 

having spring practice.

 Looking at the wide receivers 

Denzel Boston the Huskies top

receiver last year decided to go

the NFL. He might be drafted 

near the end of the first round

or in the second round. Outside

of a very few wide receivers 

don't go in the first round. All

comes down to the player and

whether a team needs a receiver.

It would be nice if he could be

with the Seahawks however

they aren't in need of one. I am

sure they would draft him if he

is the best player available.

Desmen Roebuck who had an

outstanding freshman season 

last year could be the go to guy 

this season. They went to him

quite a bit when Boston missed

a few games. He is listed in the

slot. Right now Kevin Greene Jr.

is his backup.

Christian Moss is projected to be 

one of the side outs. He is transfer

from Kennesaw State and the other

is expected to be Rashid Williams 

a redshirt junior who is in his 4th

year in the program. Last year he

played only in two games with five

catches for 54 yards. 

Chris Lawson and Justice Williams

 expected to be backup however 

they could find their way in for

more playing time. Lawson and Moss

have been slowed by injuries this

spring so incoming freshman Jordan

Clay is showing his stuff so he could 

be the newcomer to get playing time. 

With both Lawson and Moss out he 

is getting valuable time with the first 

unit. 

Next time on Huskies football we will look 

at the offensive line.

We will look  at how the WSU Cougars 

are doing with a new coaching staff

and turnover of players. We will look

at their receiving core. 

.Mariners Lose In Walk Off Fashion

The Mariners had the game until the 

9th inning. They were leading 6-2

then gave up five runs to lose.

They were down to one strike 

to win with two outs. 

Andre Munoz pitched the 9th until

the bases were loaded. There was some

bad luck involved as well. The Mariners 

brought in Jose Ferrer for Munoz.

Not a good idea since he is the 8th

reliever in the bullpen.

Emerson Hancock pitched well again

giving up two runs in six innings on

four hits. The two runs were on a

homer in the sixth inning. He deserved 

the win. Arozarena and Raley continue 

to hit well. Raley had four hits including 

a home run.

Final Padres 7 Mariners 6

Thursday is the final of the series 

with Luis  Castillo stating for the M's.

Mariners Win Streak Ends

The Mariners continue to struggle 

on the road losing to the San Diego 

Padres  4-1.   This means the 

Mariners are now 1-6 on the road. 

The Mariners scored first in the 

second inning. Randy Arozarena 

hit a single the first of two in the

game.  The Mariners had only

four hits total. Luke Raley with

the third baseman  playing back

laid down a bunt for a single. 

JP was hit by a pitch loading 

the bases. Dominic Canzone 

hit a sacrifice fly scoring Arozarena.

Bryan Woo pitched seven innings 

for the third starter in a row. The

third inning was Woo's trouble 

inning giving up four hits and

three runs.  Ramon Laurano 

hit a triple with one out than came 

home on a Fernando Tatis Jr. single.

The following two runs were on two 

more single. The triple was the only

extra base hit in the game. 

The Padred score another run in

the bottom of the 8th off Casey 

Leguimina. A three run lead is

hard to make up in the ninth 

compared to having a two run

lead.

Wednesday Emerson Hancock 

startd to see whether they can

tie the series.  Go M's. 

The Seattle Mariners brought up

infielder Patrick Wisdom as Rob

Resynder took paternity leave.

Expect him back when the 

Mariners return home from

San Diego to take on the

Rangers on Friday.  Wisdom 

ended up hitting late in the 

game..  

The Men's Basketball Transfer Portal

The , Washington Huskies have added 

their player from the transfer portal in

guard junior Parker Freidrichsen.

The four star recruit out of high school

Washington will be his third spot. Coach

Sprinkle hopes he improves the team's 

three point shooting. At Davidson last 

year he averaged 10.8 points a game.

Freshman JJ Mandaquit who was starter

for  the Huskies when last season then

was hurt was the first transfer landing 

at Arizona. A good choice if you had to 

leave Washington. I am sure Coach 

Sprinkle will do a better job dealing with

players.  Zoom Diallo had a visit at 

Kentucky however hasn't committed yet.

Go Dawgs.

The transfer portal has  been brutal to

the WSU Cougars as they have lost 

basically the whole team. Only two

redshirt freshmen return. 

They have signed one player already 

in  Fraser Foxburgh a small forward 

from Manhattan. Updated will come.

Gonzaga had five players in the transfer 

portal as well as five who have eligibility 

used up. Unlike Washington State the

Zags will have easier time filling slots.

Adding a big man to go with Braden Huff 

is a must. Several big time programs 

have players in the transfer portal so

they should  be able to fill the spots 

soon. 

They did signed incoming sophomore 

Isiah Harwell from Houston Cougars. 

A swing man he played only 13.8 

minutes a game. He averaged 3.4 points

and two rebounds  in limited time.

We see whether he will be a starter

ot coming off the bench. 

Again we will see who else the Zags

acquire soon. 

The portal closes on April 21 however they

should be a me to sign players after that.

Do one week to go so we will check back

in unless a big name comes before that.

Goes for all three schools.

There are schools trying to recruit players 

who are not yet in the transfer portal 

My opinion those schools should be 

charged with tampering.   The NCAA 

board had put in rules on tampering

so coaches can lose 50 percent of

the season of they are caught.

At least something positive. 

Mariners Sweep Astros

After the last road trip where the Mariners 

went 1-5 and could have been 5-1 they

beat the Astros in all four games. 

Monday afternoon the Mariners beat the

Astros 6-2. They had a great opportunities 

to score more runs however the Mariners 

pitching shut the doors. 

It was primarily George who pitched into

the eighth inning and left with two outs.

George only walked one batter and that

was Alvarez at the end of his pitching.

He struck out seven batters. Matt Brash 

came in to get the last out of the 8th 

and  Cole Wilcox pitched the 9th just

giving up one walk.

Josh Naylor who has gotten off to a

rough start was the player of the game.

He hit his first home run in the first

inning after Cal and Julio had singles.

In the third inning he had a second 

homer with Donovan on base.  Luke 

Raley had his second three hit game 

in a row.  

The Mariners are still in 4th place in

the division however only one game

behind the A's in first place. The 

Mariners now go play the Padres 

for three so if they can do better 

on this road trip who knows. The

Mariners record is now  8-9. 

The Astros are in a bad place not

only  swept by the . Mariners they

continue losing players to the 

injured list. I am sure most Mariners 

fans are not to sympathetic to

them.

Bryan Woo will start the first game

Zin San Diego so we hope for a good

start. Go M's. 

Mariners Take Series

Though there is one game left on

Monday the Mariners are now 3-0

on this series. 

Logan Gilbert went seven innings 

for his best start. Arozarena and

Raley each had three hits.  Julio

getting better with two hits. 

Final  Mariners 6 Astros 1

Three of the runs Mariners were

on 9 walks so they had more

opportunity.  Monday against 

same opponent is unusual 

it will be a day game. George 

Kirby will pitch. 

Tuesday thru Thursday they

will play the Padres in San 

Diego before playing the 

Rangers in Seattle.

The Astros will be home to 

play  Colorado Rockies and 

St. Louis Cardinals. This 

should be it for the season 

against the Rockies. 

Kraken Miss Playoffs

The Seattle Kraken got off to a good 

start however it was awful in the 

secong half. 

Ron Francis who was the original 

general manager then became 

President about a year and a half 

resigned last week.  The Kraken

have had three head coaches 

so likely won't change the position 

now.  It is amazing since they did 

made playoffs once. 

It will be interesting to see what 

changes  they will make.

This last season the Seattle Storm

lost all there free agents. Have

to see how things go there too.

The Mariners at least won the two

games over the Astros in the start 

of this four game series. They are

only a game and a half out of first

place though early.  The A's lead

with 7-7 record. Hopefully the 

Mariners will win at least one of 

the two games in this series.
