Washington State Cougars Recruiting Class 2026

The Washington State Cougars right

now have 15 committed players for

the class of 2026. All but three are

three star prospects. Those three 

have no ranking yet.

Six players are on offense while

the remaining on defense. Hudson

Kurkland of Lake Oswego Oregon.

Kingston Fotualil offensive lineman

is the lone  player in Washington from

O'Dea High School in Seattle. 

They have one wide receiver Hudson

Lewis of Boise Idaho and two tight

ends. One listed as athete in Landon

Kalsbeck from Littleton Colorado.

On defense the Cougars have three

edge rushers and safeties. Kameron

Hurst is lone cornerback from St.

Louis Missouri. They have one

lineman and one linebacker. 

How many more recruits they

will have we will see in the

months ahead.  Go Cougs. 

Mariners Shut Out Monday

It was disappointing the Mariners

were shut out by the Red Sox in

the open  of the three game series.

Final Boston 3 Seattle 0

Like often happens they had the

bases loaded early on in the game

and couldn't bring in a single run.

Logan Gilbert had his first start

after coming off the injured. He 

looked good despite giving up

two runs in five innings. Expect

to go a little longer in his next

outing. Go M's.

Mariners Sweep Cleveland

I am sure no one expected the

Mariners to sweep the Guardians

after being swept in the last 

series at Arizona. Of course we

will take it.

Sunday Final Seattle 6 Cleveland 0

Emerson Hancock continues to

look like someone who is a former

first round pick and continues

getting quality. The question is 

what will they do when Bryce 

Miller gets  back. Speaking of 

that Logan Gilbert expected to

start against Boston on Monday.

The big hit was JP Crawford grand

slam in the second inning. He

will remember being a first time

father on father's day.

Back to Hancock he went seven innings giving up only two hits.

He walked one and struck out

two.

Logan Gilbert will come off

injured list to start Monday

in game one of the series

against Red Sox. Go M's.

Mariners Win In Walkoff Fashion

Saturday night was another

one run game for the Mariners.

Heading into the bottom of

the ninth the Mariners were 

down by one. This means

facing Cleveland's closer

and they had success.

Dylan Moore who pinch run

for Dominic Canzone after

his single was able to get

to third base. Mastrobuino

who pinch hit for Williamson

ended up walking. Cole Young

laid down a bunt to move

Moore and Mastrobuino over

to third and second. JP Crawford

walked to load the bases. 

Dylan Moore scored to tie the

score on a wild pitch. Julio

Rodriguez struck out on a 

hundred plus fastball. Cal

Raleigh was intentionally

walked. Jorge Polanco hit

single to score Mastrobuino

with winning run.

George Kirby went five innings

struggling a bit but gave up

just two runs. Gabe Speier 

gave up the go ahead on a

wind pitch. The other three

relievers did a goof job.

It looks like Emerson Hancock

will start Sunday and see of they

can sweep this series.

Interesting the Mariners play 

better against the good clubs.

It would be nice to play better

against the not so good clubs. 

Go M's.

Mariners Win Friday Night

It has been a while however

the Seattle Mariners one

the first game of the series

7-2 over Cleveland. Also they

have even record at 34-34.

The Mariners are four and

half behind the Astros in the

AL West. The Rangers and 

Angels are a game behind

the Mariners.

Cleveland scored twice in

the third hitting back to

back home runs and that

was it for the night. Luis

Castillo had a quality start

going six innings giving

up three hits, three walks

and seven strike outs .

The bullpen did a great job

giving up  one hit and no

walks. 

The Mariners tied the game

in the fourth inning on a

home run by Rowdy Tellez 

and a single by JP Crawford

to score Ben Williamson.

JP had a good game having

three hits. 

In the 7th inning the Mariners

scored four runs to break it

open. Randy Arozarena hit

a single scoring Cal Raleigh

who had walked and Jorge

Polanco to third base. 

Dominic Canzone who was

called up this week hit a single

scoring Polanco and Arozarena.

Cole Young finished the damage

hitting a double to bring home

Çanzone.

The Mariners had Andre Munoz

warning up in the bullpen looking

like he would pitch the ninth.

Polanco hit a solo home run

to make it seven runs. Arozarena

had an infield hit and Canzone

had a hit to right field. Both were

stranded though didn't need tgem.

Munoz didn't pitch the ninth instead

Bazardo did. 

After his last great start George 

Kirby is supposed to go on Saturday.

There is a possibility Logan Gilbert

will come off the injured list to 

start on Sunday. If not it will be

Emerson Hancock. We should

see Gilbert in the series against

the Red Sox if he doesn't start

Sunday.  Go M's.

Tacoma's Catcher Harry Ford & More

The Seattle Mariners going on

a 1-5 road trip this past week

and before that a not so good

home stand had gotten off

to  good start are now 33-34.

Injuries primarily to pitching

staff along with a few position

players finally got to them.

Logan Gilbert being on rehab

assignment is expected back

soon. Bryce Miller is on injured

list for second time and who

knows when he will be back.

Luke Raley outfielder-first 

baseman is starting rehab 

assignment this Thursday

for the Tacoma Rainiers. 

How long a lot will depend

how he hits.

It has been at least a month

that fans want to see Harry

Ford catcher with Rainiers 

up with the ballclub. The

Mariners are playing Cal 

Raleigh a lot as well and

without his production the

Mariners record wouldn't be

this good.

The thing with Ford the Mariners

need to play him a few times a

week. With Cal Raleigh who will

catch probably five days a week

or at least four.  This means Ford

would have to dh a few times

a week or play in the outfield

or some place. In Tacoma Ford

is at dh now as well as catch.

Mitch Garver who is currently

the backup catcher and dh on 

occasion against lefties is

hitting .200. The trouble isn't

the average it is the fact he

has only one home run and

has driven in 10 runs. Garver

only has three doubles so

four extra base hits in 21 total

hits. The Mariners need more

than that. His defense is good

however the Mariners more

production out of him.

Last year though Garver's batting average was .172 his home runs

was at 15 and 51 RBIs. At this

rate he won't be close at all.

Does this mean bring Harry Ford

up and releasing Garver. They

still have to pay him regardless

what he does. You have to figure

Ford will be the backup catcher

next season. Adding another 

position besides dh will probably

happen during the upcoming

offseason. President of baseball

operations Jerry Dipoto says 

there is no plan to trade Ford 

so bringing him up sounds like 

the thing to do. 

This week the Mariners brought

up Dominic Canzone from Tacoma

and dfa Leody Taveras who could

play for the Rainiers.

On Wednesday Harry Ford who has

been hot as of late like Canzone

and Cole Young before him. On

Wednesday night Ford a grand slam

home run in the third inning and

a double to driving in a total of

six runs.  He is batting .312 with

seven home  runs and 36 RBIs

after getting off to a slow start.

At Everett AquaSox Luis Suisbel

third baseman has been a big

surprise leading the team with

a .284 batting average. He has 

seven home runs which is fifth

on the team. Outfielder and 

superstar in the making Lazaro

Montes has thirteen home runs

and 41 RBIs to lead Everett.

Another top prospect infielder

Michael Arroyo got off to a slow

start however now he is second

to Montes with eleven home runs

and has thirty RBIs.

Update you again on other prospects

in the Mariners minor leagues soon.

Washington Huskies Football Recruiting Class 2026

Our first look of the year at next

year's football recruiting class

to be. Now colleges are going

to pay the players plus have NIL

on top of that.  

The Huskies recruiting class

has four offensive players, six

defensive and two who are

identified as athletes. Those

two most likely play offense

however could go to defense.
