DawgmanRadio: Catching up on the latest news

Dawgman Radio: A Washington Huskies athletics podcast

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - decided it was a good time to catch up on all the latest Washington football news, as well as what's happening in the Pac-12 and in college football.

Right now, the story that's just beginning to ripple through the college football world but looks to have some real staying power is the one surrounding Arizona State and substantial recruiting violations that took place during the shortened 2020 season. A few former Pac-12 players and coaches have already commented on it and if the allegations are found to be true it would be a massive hammer blow to the Sun Devils, and one that would reverberate for years to come.

Next, the guys talk about the proposed 12-team college football playoff format, the winners and losers, and how the Pac-12 benefits from a super-sized playoff scenario. As always, it comes down to money and winning. But does the conference really benefit as much as you might think, especially compared to the real power players?

After a quick commercial break, the Dawgman guys talk about Wednesday's breaking news; 2021 defensive back prospect Davon Banks announced his verbal commitment to the Huskies, and Banks will make it official when he signs a scholarship agreement with UW on Friday.

Is Banks's situation a unique one? One where an injury and the coronavirus pandemic simply put him in the wrong place at the wrong time, ultimately found by the Huskies again at the last moment? Or will his case be one of many that emerge during the 2022 recruiting cycle due to the minimal amount of film being out there of 2021 seasons being shortened or canceled altogether in certain regions of the country, compounded by the fact that coaches couldn't recruit said prospects in person until just a couple of weeks ago?

Scott also updates us on UW's big recruiting weekend coming up at the end of the month, where they will be hosting five players on official visits. How many of those players could end up signing with the Huskies?
