Washington Huskies Football and Men's Basketball

Friday is the ending of early  signing

for incoming freshmen  and  those

through the transfer portal.

The Huskies signed 16 incoming 

freshmen  and  five transfers. The 

Huskies have six running backs

under scholarship so may add

another for depth or maybe Dillon 

Johnson will have decided to go

to the NFL  instead.

The Huskies will be losing three

defensive line. They have picked 

up one in the transfer portal so

far. May add another one or two 

there. I  could see picking up

another edge rusher, linebacker 

or a defensive  back. We see what

happens.

The Washington Huskies  men's 

basketball  team beat Eastern 

Washington 73- 66 Thursday 

night. This ends the Huskies 

non-league schedule with an

8-3 record. Shows a good sign

heading into Pac-12  season.

The Huskies open the Pac-12 

schedule on December 29 at

Colorado  followed by Utah

on New Year's Eve  before 

coming home against Oregon 

and Oregon  State.

Center Franck Kepnang missed 

the game because of injury. How

long he will  be out don't know.

Hopefully  this break he will be 

back soon. His heart for playing 

is as important  as  anything.

The Huskies were led by Keion 

Brooks Jr. with 20 points. Moses 

Wood had 17 while Koren Johnson 

had 11 coming off the bench. The

Huskies likely will go with nine

players for the most part the rest

of the way. 

On the eastside of the state the Cougars

won a close game as well beat Boise State  

66-61.  Isaac Jones  having a good season 

led the Cougars with 21 points. Myles Rice

having a good  season  to so far had 14.

Jabe Mullins who hadn't score well before

had 13. It will be important  for the Cougars

to have success with  Mullins  coming off

the bench as well in Pac-12 schedule.  So

the same success with Jones and Rice.

The Cougars end the non-league season 

with a 9-2 record. We hope  for their success 

too. They play Utah the same day Huskies 

open  up.
