2017 4-star TE Hunter Bryant - unofficial visit - (UW commit)
2017 4-star ATH Salvon Ahmed - unofficial visit - (UW commit)
2017 4-star RB Connor Wedington - unofficial visit - (UW commit)
2017 3-star LB Cade Otton - unofficial visit - (UW commit)
2017 4-star OG Henry Bainivalu - official visit - (uncommitted)

2017 4-star CB Elijah Molden - unofficial visit - (UW commit)

Been holding onto a couple recruiting notes since Monday in order to make sure the information was able to be confirmed. It's now Thursday and we've been able to make a few more things confirmed...

*** 2017 four-star Sacramento (Calif.) Burbank defensive end Deonte Johnson -- Washington was one of the schools that stood out the most early in the process for Johnson, but then essentially every other national program came calling with an offer and he eventually committed to Miami. Now, Washington is 4th ranked team in the country on the cusp of an undefeated regular season for the first time in over a decade.

The Huskies wanted to make sure that Johnson had sincere interest in Washington, not just looking to take a free visit for a game like USC-UW, a marquee game. The No.117 overall prospect and Canes commit would fill the "plus one" scholarship that remains open for the Huskies outside of their three offensive line spots.

*** 2017 three-star Layton (Utah) athlete Tayler Katoa -- Washington offered Katoa over the summer and has always been "right there" in his recruitment, but he will take an LDS mission following his senior season so he won't count toward the 2017 scholarship numbers. Katoa is another prospect who will take his official to Washington this weekend, with a couple of other visits set up for after the season as well.

Washington would obviously take Katoa since he wouldn't count against the scholarship numbers. Utah is one school to watch for the three-star prospect, in addition to Colorado.

*** 2017 five-star Graham (Wash.) Graham-Kapowsin offensive tackle Foster Sarell -- While it won't be an official visit there is a good chance that the Huskies get another unofficial visit from the nations No.3 prospect this weekend. Graham-Kapowsin plays Camas on Friday night, which would allow Sarell the opportunity to make the visit.

Sarell has visited UW for at least two games this season - both unofficial - and adding growing speculation that the Huskies are looking the best option for the 5-star prospect, with the fall of both Stanford and Notre Dame.

*** Confirmed visitors this weekend (bolded are official visits):

2017 4-star WR Terrell Bynum - committed to Washington
2017 4-star TE Hunter Bryant - committed to Washington
2017 4-star ATH Salvon Ahmed - committed to Washington
2017 4-star RB Connor Wedington - committed to Washington
2017 3-star LB Cade Otton - committed to Washington
2017 4-star DE Deonte Johnson - committed to Miami
2017 4-star OG Henry Bainivalu - uncommitted
2017 3-star ATH Tayler Katoa - uncommitted
2018 4-star WR Chase Williams - uncommitted

I'd like to buy a pic of "the Point", any idea's?

So.... just found out that my son and I will be going to Seattle this weekend for the game. Going up Friday night and staying in a pretty cheap last minute hotel a few miles from UW.

Planning on going to Gameday...

Any advice from anyone, Husky and Trojan fans, regarding where to park at ~ 6 am, what to do after Gameday for 6 and 1/2 hours, where to eat, any Trojan rallies or tailgates.

We are really excited about going so any suggestions to make our trip more enjoyable will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hey guys,

I got to see Jake Haener in action Friday vs. De La Salle in the Bay Area. Monte Vista lost, but Jake had a good night. Here are his highlights:

Huge score, again, for the Huskies.

No.4 Washington is set to host red-hot USC this weekend with College GameDay as the backdrop. A couple of unofficial visitors will make the trip North to Seattle, with a four-star cornerback possibly a return visitor...

*** 2017 four-star West Linn (Ore.) cornerback Elijah Molden -- Washington has already hosted the Oregon legacy for an official visit, but there are thoughts of a return trip to Montlake for an unofficial visit prior to his decision.

"Not sure yet," Molden told Rivals on Monday, when asked if he will visit UW again. "I'll talk with my parents about it [but] it's definitely a possibility."

Molden added that there isn't a timeframe (specifically) for when that visit would come, but given the four-star prospect is targeting a December commitment date there would likely be a random weekend visit, possibly during the week or for Arizona State. Regardless, having Washington get Molden on campus again is another indication of his already high interest in UW.

*** 2017 three-star Sacramento (Calif.) Sheldon wide receiver Alex Cook -- Cook plans to make the trip North to Seattle for an uniofficial visit this weekend, but the trip isn't completely set in stone. The three-star Washington commit wanted to visit UW for this game even before his commitment, and that hasn't change over the course of the summer and fall.

"I can't wait to watch that," Cook told Rivals of the USC-UW game. "It's gonna be a good one."

*** 2017 four-star Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco wide receiver Terrell Bynum -- Bynum, another Washington commit, confirmed with Rivals on Sunday night that he will make the trip to Seattle for an unofficial visit, and there is a chance that UW is able to pull a couple of 2018 prospects on campus for unofficial visits to combine with the 2017 commits visiting for unofficial visits...

Washington continues to play the cat-and-mouse game with its final four spots for the 2017 class. Here is our latest installment of Dawg Bites...

*** 2017 three-star Portland (Ore.) Westview defensive tackle Brandon Pili -- Washington still has not offered the rising West Coast prospect, despite USC and others pulling the trigger. The Huskies remain in the hunt for Jay Tufele, one of the top DT prospects in the country, and 5-star UCLA DL commit Jaelan Phillips. However, Washington coach Chris Petersen will be talking with Pili tonight and the three-star prospect has made it no secret he's high on UW.

UW defensive line coach Ikaika Malloe has also built a strong relationship, with the two talking weekly. Pili said of the relationship, "It's good - we've been talking for a while and we've built up a mutual trust. I like that he keeps it real and he's just a cool person in general."

*** 2017 three-star Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco defensive end Jacob Callier -- Washington has been mentioned in recent reports as one school that has been showing interest in the Colorado commit. However, Callier told Rivals this week he has not heard from the Huskies recently, while he is on their radar being from St. John Bosco. Callier could get more interest from the Huskies after the season if other options fall off, but right now he's not a guy for people to focus on.

*** 2018 four-star San Diego (Calif.) St. Augustine cornerback Isaac Taylor-Stuart -- Washington continues to remain the top program for the No.47 overall prospect in next years class. But this weekend Taylor-Stuart will make the shorter (compared to UW) trip north to visit USC this weekend for the Trojans' game against Oregon. However, despite having offered the four-star prospect, there isn't as strong of a relationship as one might expect.

"It's mild with them," Taylor-Stuart told Rivals of his interest in USC. "Just talking to the coaches and my friends were going up there already so they're my ride to the game [said with a laugh."

Taylor-Stuart has stated already this season Washington will definitely get a visit this off-season, potentially in January.
