Pro Bowl Geno

Geno Smith is expected to

play in the Pro Bowl on Sunday. 

I am one that doesn't watch the

Pro Bowl however I wish him

the best.

Geno Smith is expected sign

a new contract with the Seahawks soon. The latest

I heard was a three year deal

with two guaranteed at $70

million. A good deal for both.

How I understand the salary

cap the guarantee will be over

the three years. This means

the guarantee will be under

$24 million for the three years.

I am sure though not knowing

each year there will be an 

increase in the salary cap.

The Seahawks will have seven

other players making over $10

million this coming season.

At least one of them will be

released and another may 

have their contract renegotiated at a lower 

amount and another year

added. 

In college basketball the Huskies lost to USC 80-74.

This is a game they should have won though they were

without Cole Bajema who 

was suspended for one game

after the league said he caused

a fragrant foul which was not

called in the UCLA game..

The Huskies were led by Keion

Brooks led the team with 22 

points. Most likely Brooks will 

be going to the NBA next season. Keion Menifield 

having a great freshman 

season had 21 points.

Four of the Huskies starters

scored in double figures.

Only PJ Fuller missed out

and he scored nine points.

Only Noah Williams had significant minutes coming

off the bench. 

The Cougars lost Saturday 

to UCLA 76-52. The Cougars

were like the Huskies Thursday

they were in the game the 

first half but couldn't sustain

it. The Cougars were led by

guards TJ Bamba with 19

and Justin Powell with 17.

As you can see they didn't

get much from the rest of the

guys.

The Huskies and Cougars

play each other next Saturday

in Pullman. Hard to say but

the Cougars should win the

game. Again a disappointing

season for the Huskies though

do see some talent. I can see

Coach Hopkins gone as well

as Keion Brooks Jr.. Jamal

Bey who has been inconsistent

as the team has been will be

gone as is eligibility is over.

Freshmen Keion Merifield

and Koren Johnson should 

be the mainstays as the 

Huskies rebuild without 

Coach Hopkins at the 

helm. What shake up 

happens may decide what

Merifield will do. He could

be a hot market on the 

transfer portal however the

Huskies gave him a chance

other major colleges did not.

Saturday night wasn't good 

for Gonzaga either losing

to St. Mary's 78-70. It hasn't

been a good season for the

Zags this year for their standards anyway. They will

make the NCAA tournament

in March but may not go far

unless changes happen.

Unlike the Huskies and Cougars

they will be the only major

college from here to see.

Go Zags!
