DawgmanRadio: The final push on 2022 as Junior Day signals the start to 2023 recruiting

Dawgman Radio: A Washington Huskies athletics podcast

The guys from Dawgman.com - Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund - break down Washington's final recruiting weekend for the 2022 class as the Huskies prepare to finish things out starting with the first day of the regular signing period on Wednesday. Recruits can sign through mid-April, but we expect almost all of UW's business to be concluded Wednesday, with one major exception.

In the first part of the show, we talk about UW's sole official visitor, Roman Rashada, and how he fits into the 2022 picture, as well as how a potential commit by him might influence the recruitment of his younger brother, Jaden, arguably the top quarterback out west for the 2023 class.

With the recently committed twin defensive linemen from Michigan - Armon and Jayvon Parker - expected to sign with the Huskies on Wednesday, UW has room for a handful of others to reach their maximum number of scholarships - 85. A few of them could be local, too.

After a quick commercial break, the guys get right into another big event happening at Washington this weekend - Junior Day. It's the first one for a couple of years due to the coronavirus pandemic, and the new Washington staff is trying to make a big splash.

So what happens during a Junior Day? Will the players get a chance to see the basketball game between Utah and Washington, which starts at 2 pm? And who are some of the top prospects that will be on hand? Fetters and Eklund go through all that, as well as their thoughts on the staff's big Friday 'Loyal to the Soil' campaign blitz which saw a number of coaches canvas the state and hit a ton of the top high schools.

Finally, Scott gives us an update on a 7-on-7 tournament he'll be attending in Tacoma Saturday, as well as the news that one of the South Sound's top 2023 players, Lincoln QB Gabarri Johnson, was offered by the Huskies this week.

With as many offers already out for 2023 prospects as for the entire 2022 class, the new UW staff has definitely let it be known they are looking nationwide to find the best prospects available.
