is a place he always wanted to be. His family history with the school suggests it's far from coachspeak.
A new era of Husky hoops has arrived.
Got some news ~
Today is my first day of being a full-time writer and I’m really excited that it’s with
@247Sports
. I’ll be joining the national desk and although I’ve already “met” the team, I’m looking forward to truly getting to know them
Convinced my mother to take my younger brother and I. Got there at 4:30 in the morning. It was cold and wet, but meant everything to me.
I’ll be at Husky Stadium covering this great rivalry Saturday and I just know my inner child is smiling hard
Back in San Antonio after a very memorable first trip to Colorado. I loved every second of it and definitely will be back in Boulder soon. So very grateful for
@247Sports
and the support from my peers.
The expected attendance for Black & Gold Day is 46k and it’s close to becoming a reality. You’d think a regular season game is about to kickoff based on the energy here
I don’t have much but I will say that getting verified is really, really cool to me because it’s been a side journalism goal of mine. Man I called my girlfriend, friends and family up like I had just been selected in the NBA Draft. My year’s been made - shoutout to Twitter
Washington's passing attack is inevitable. Because of it, the Huskies are a legit threat to win the national championship.
More on a consistent offensive line, an elite wide receiver unit and a Heisman Trophy candidate that teams can't blitz:
Personal news:
Sunday was my final day at 247Sports. Words can’t describe the fun I’ve had throughout the last two years and I am extremely grateful for the friends and connections I’ve made along the way.
Can’t wait to find out what’s next for me.
Recently I’ve seen people concerned about
#Rockets
prospect Evan Mobley’s love of the game and his lack of passion, so I interviewed Ray Barefield who coached him at Rancho Christian and he had tons to say about his former star player.
“You see it on film, but at the same time, you're watching a game against Texas Tech, K-State, all the teams they play, and I don't feel like those teams have the offensive line that we have.” - Penix
Washington's offensive line vs. Texas' defensive line is a key matchup in the Sugar Bowl.
But Huskies QB Michael Penix Jr. and Longhorns' DL T'Vondre Sweat are clearly tired of the topic.
More from a tense day in New Orleans:
Arizona’s basketball program doesn’t get nearly enough credit for how consistent it is. A whole bunch of Pac-12 championships, NBA Draft picks and NCAA Tournament wins
If Oregon State is as good as expected, facing Washington and Oregon to conclude the season is a blessing. Could give the Beavers an opportunity to punch a ticket to Vegas rather than rely on others
For a society that claims to care about mental health, we sure do have a weird way of showing it. Kevin Porter Jr has to do better, and he knows that. So let’s stop with the finger pointing and using that “tantrum” word.
Let’s be better.
Perhaps No. 5 Washington and No. 11 Oregon State will meet again in Las Vegas. Or maybe we’ll never see the match-up again. Both plausible scenarios only add to the suspense of Saturday’s clash in Corvallis.
@carterbahns
and I previewed the 108th meeting between the Beavers and
@AaronJFentress
@dannyvalencia19
Yeah, Herro had mixtapes getting millions of views in high school and his girlfriend (wife?) has nearly 7 million followers on IG. Trout never stood a chance in this one
@SamQuinnCBS
Also a weird point to make considering players today have dramatically more power. Feels like LeBron and Kobe’s names are used here to draw outrage/reaction
Oregon State AD Scott Barnes says extending head coach Jonathan Smith is his No. 1 priority. Smith has gone 18-6 over the last two seasons with the Beavers:
A little over a year ago I reached out to

in hopes of joining the

I appreciate all of the support! Not quite sure what the future holds, but l’ll worry about that later.
Moving forward, I’ll be covering the San Antonio Spurs with

I woke up 25 this morning and very grateful for all the wonderful people I have in my life.
Whether my girlfriend, family, friends, coworkers or bosses — you all continue to give me inspiration through support and belief. It means everything to me.
Each decision that the
#Rockets
have made has been widely supported by their fans.
But right now, everyone is losing their minds despite this previously being expected and even embraced by many
So let’s talk about it. Here’s my latest story
I’m 100% confident that Josh Christopher will one day be called, “your favorite players’s favorite player” so, of course, I wrote about him, his shorts and his performance at the NBA Draft Combine -
Covering Weber State athletics for four years was a great experience and I’m grateful but i should press charges for the amount of times I had to hear this song
We are aware of Twitter comments linked to a faculty member and are looking into the issue.
Weber State University does not condone violence or threats of violence under any circumstance.
Happy to announce that I’m 1-0 as WSU soccer’s sports information guy. Life is good
But in all seriousness what a great win by the Wildcats, they’ve been practicing with a ton of intensity and tonight it clearly paid off.
1-0 is looking reaaal nice
WILDCATS WIN!
Lauren McConnell and Gentry Gibson knocked in the only goals of the game off of assists from Brynlee Meyerhoffer and Morgan Furmaniak.
Kaytlin Bradley had a dominant showing by notching a shutout and saving 7 shots in the process.
1-0. 😤
#WeAreWeber
Once saw
@JHarding_10
go into a game needing 24 points to break Weber State’s all-time scoring record and the man scored 25 before the first half was over. He’s pretty good
Dallas is signing Jerrick Harding to their Summer League team
He is the all-time leading scorer at Weber State, where he graduated from in 2020. He won the Czech Republic league title the last 2 years, where he averaged 19.1 PPG on 48.2% 3-point shooting
Forgot to post this but yesterday Facebook reminded me that 8 years ago I had my first media experience. My mom helped me get set up with a press pass from UW and it was just special
I know I’m making the 14-year-old me proud but I can’t wait to shock him. Just wait
Armoni Brooks playing these early minutes has to be a regular moving forward. He makes their offense so much more smooth with his shooting and awareness
Realizing that Weber State’s football team has never lost a home game that I’ve covered so when senior night rolls around it’s only right that they take care of me
Ahead of what could be a manageable 2024 slate, there is no time like the present for Ole Miss.

It's unfortunate but I'd be shocked if the Pac-12 as we know it is still intact by 2024. There's been some exciting teams in recent years but having USC @ Oregon State on the Pac-12 Network last season just speaks to the incompetence we've grown used to on the west coast. The
