2011 DE Recruit Connor Cree Commits To UW

Connor Cree called the coaches at UW and BSU today, to give the good news to the Huskies and the bad news to the Broncos. UW is still working to address their lack of depth on the defensive line, and the addition of Connor Cree should help with that.

Cree is still developing, and while right now he stands 6'5" tall and weighs 225 lbs, it is in no way unreasonable to fathom that he could grow another inch or two, while adding 20-30 lbs before next year when he enrolls at UW. We may have Ed "Too Tall" Jones reincarnate with this one.

Cree has demonstrated a great amount of athletic ability while playing for the Skyline Spartans, playing both as a DE and a TE for the reigning 3x state champs.

He definitely has a lot of work to do on his technique, while he does well chasing down the ball carrier and tackling in the open field, he'll need to develop a much better repertoire of pass rush moves, as well as do a better job of using his long arms to keep separation from oncoming blockers and bat down passes. The great news is, these are all easy things to fix, and like they say, you can't teach 6'5". Great get Sark!

Spring Game Tonight!

The festivities begin tonight at 6:30 in scenic Husky Stadium. The format for tonights spring game will be four 15 minute quarters with a running clock.

The teams have been set, with the #1 offense and #2 defense going against the #2 offense and the #1 defense. So we are going to be seeing 1's vs 1's, and 2's vs 2's.

The first team offense will be lead by Jake Locker until Coach Sark feels he's gotten enough reps, at which point Keith Price will then take over. The second team offense will be lead by Nick Montana.

Besides the actual spring game there will be other events such as a tug-o-war with the UW Strength staff, a hot dog eating contest, and there has been a rumored passing competition with former Husky great Marques Tuiasosopo.

So head on down to Husky Stadium tonight to get a preview of Montlake Jake and the rest of our Husky football team.

We'd love to see your photos and videos from the event, and hear about your experience. Email us at gopurplebegold@gmail.com.

Thanks For The Memories!

Good luck to Donald Butler and Daniel Te'o-Nesheim

Daniel Te'o-Nesheim Drafted 86th Overall By The Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles picked up the UW career sacks leader Daniel Te'o-Nesheim in the 3rd round. Though many draft pundits have repeatedly knocked his overall athleticism, the eagles saw what us Husky fans have been seeing for years. NFL tackles, hope you're ready for our blue-collar DE.

Congrats Daniel, you've made Husky Nation a proud one!

Donald Butler Drafted 79th Overall By The Chargers

Donald Butler was taken in the 3rd Round(79th overall) by the San Diego Chargers. it was a great pick up for them, as Butler will work nicely in the 3-4 Scheme they run down there. His ability to quickly fill gaps against the running game and cover space quickly in pass coverage makes him a valuable asset.

Thanks for everything you've done for the Huskies Donald, good luck in the NFL!
