Montlake Mailbag: Recruiting, NIL, collective bargaining and more

5 days ago | onmontlake.com | Christian Caple

On Monday morning, I’ll drive to the oral surgeon’s office, sit in a chair, have a needle stuck in my arm and fall asleep. When I wake up, I’ll have four fewer teeth. I don’t need them, of course. And if you think it’s a little weird that I’m having my wisdom teeth removed at the advanced age of 37, I won’t argue. The teeth aren’t bothering me, so it became easy to keep putting it off. My dentist has long recommended I get it done, though, mostly to avoid problems in the future.

Montlake Musings: Why Derek Colman-Brusa didn't want to wait

1 week ago | onmontlake.com | Christian Caple

When he arrived on campus for Friday’s spring game, Derek Colman-Brusa already knew he was going to be a Husky. Actually, the state’s top-ranked recruit had known for about a week. And so had Washington’s coach. “My mom kind of asked me, ‘how are you doing, honey?’” Colman-Brusa said of a conversation the weekend prior.

Raiden Vines-Bright, unofficial stats and what else to know about Washington's spring game

SEATTLE — Washington’s star tailback pulled his helmet off and jogged into a cartwheel before executing a celebratory backflip on Friday night. Jonah Coleman did this not to commemorate a victory or even a touchdown, but instead something he might never get to do again. He nailed a PAT in the second half of the Huskies’ annual spring football game.

Ten Huskies whose stock I'm buying after spring practices

2 weeks ago | onmontlake.com | Christian Caple

Washington concludes its second spring under coach Jedd Fisch with Friday night’s “Dawgs After Dark” spring game at 6:30 p.m. (though I do feel obligated to note that the sun won’t set in Seattle until 8:24). The Huskies hold their 14th spring practice Wednesday afternoon. Friday’s game, Fisch told the Big Ten Network, will feature a three-quarter contest with the teams divided evenly. Winners get steaks, salmon and shrimp; losers get rice and beans. Corgis will be involved. Anyway.
