If you're on this site chances are it's one of the most exciting sports weeks of the year. Not only are we talking Super Bowl here. We're talking junior day on Feb. 7 (in a week). Before that there's Signing Day. And this weekend there's Chris Warren in town.
Former Seahawks' great Chris Warren's son will be in Seattle this weekend for his official visit. The Rivals250 running back is in town this afternoon and he'll be on campus a little less than 48 hours, we're hearing. It won't be a big weekend for visitors, although there may be a surprise or two in store that we're trying to uncover, so that means Warren will get the red carpet treatment and almost all of the attention.
It will help that UDub commit Henry Roberts is in town for his official. He's a good ambassador for the program and a "true believer" so to speak. He's all in with this staff and will be genuine and enthusiastic around Warren. You can bet current players, beyond Warren's host, will be heavily involved this weekend. Chris Petersen and the offensive coaching staff will make the case that Warren would fill a big void and they could shape the offense around him as a ground and pound back that wears on a defense and logs a lot of carries.
Washington's basketball game against Cal, at 12:00pm on Sunday, may or may not be part of the trip. I'm not sure when Warren's flight leaves on Sunday. I'm thinking he will probably not be at the game, because official visits normally end on late Sunday mornings, especially when a kid is flying in earlier on Friday.
Before Signing Day, Washington would love to add a couple more pieces to the puzzle.
This week news broke that Texas defensive end Myles Rice would greyshirt, meaning he would not come on scholarship until the following year. So he will count against 2016's numbers, which theoretically frees another spot for '15, if the coaches choose to use that. TheDawgReport.com reported earlier this week that long snapper A.J. Carty would be greyshirting, too.
