McKinney also talks Pac-12 recruiting and why the conference has gotten off to a slow start in 2014 recruiting.]]> http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/colleges/washington/post/_/id/7010/pac-12-official-visit-elite-11-nftc Fri, 17 May 2013 10:21:38 EDT 7010 All players are equal, but some players are more equal than others. That's the basis of our Most Important Player series. First off, quarterbacks are excluded to make things more interesting. It goes without saying, for example, that Oregon's Marcus Mariota is the Ducks' most important player. And most important doesn't necessarily have to be "best." An All-American's backup can be pretty darn good, too. Our most important guys are players who could swing a win total one way or the other, based on their living up to expectations.]]> http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/colleges/washington/post/_/id/7007/most-important-player-washington-huskies Thu, 16 May 2013 17:30:22 EDT 7007 Unlike last year, there aren't nearly as many questions surrounding the Washington defense as the Huskies head into the final stretch before fall camp. Last year a new scheme and new coaches were being installed, headlined by new defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox. The Huskies' defense was abysmal in 2011 -- so head coach Steve Sarkisian blew it up and started from scratch. Now the Huskies are looking to build off of the momentum they gained in 2012 when they made huge strides in one year under Wilcox & Co.]]> http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/colleges/washington/post/_/id/7000/uw-secondary-looking-to-build-off-of-2012 Wed, 15 May 2013 17:30:55 EDT 7000 As Mel Kiper goes position by position in his early look at top prospects for the 2014 NFL draft, he turns his attention to running backs today. While Oregon's De'Anthony Thomas gets top billing, UW's Bishop Sankey also finds his way onto the list.

Centennial was the place to be for college coaches this past Thursday, as the Huskies went through their spring showcase event designed to give schools from every level a chance to evaluate the juniors and top underclassmen. More than 30 schools were represented, including coaches from Alabama, Oregon, Stanford, UCLA, USC and Washington. Of particular interest was ESPN 150 guard Viane Talamaivao, who holds offers from much of the Pac-12, as well as Alabama, Mississippi and Wisconsin.]]> http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/colleges/washington/post?id=6993 Mon, 13 May 2013 15:08:52 EDT 6993 West recruiting coordinator Erik McKinney joins Phil Murphy to talk IMG West Regional standouts (notably No. 5 overall recruit Adoree' Jackson), as well as updates on Tyler Luatua and Mark Andrews.]]> http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/colleges/washington/post/_/id/6989/pac-12-official-visit-img-west-lessons Fri, 10 May 2013 08:59:29 EDT 6989 Washington coach Steve Sarkisian talks about spring practices and the new College Football Playoff.]]> http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/colleges/washington/post/_/id/6988/video-washington-coach-steve-sarkisian-2 Fri, 10 May 2013 08:48:23 EDT 6988 Inspired by Florida's "#ComePlayWRFortheJoker" campaign, our recruiting writers looked at other ways schools can sell themselves on the trail. Here's a look at recruiting pitches for the Pac-12: Arizona Wildcats What they're selling: Rich Rodriguez's offensive system worked wonders at West Virginia and introduced the nation to Denard Robinson at Michigan. In 2012, the explosive offense scored at least 34 points in 10 of the Wildcats' 13 games. What they're missing: The Wildcats don't have the Territorial Cup, which went to Arizona State following a 41-34 victory last season.]]> http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/colleges/washington/post/_/id/6986/recruiting-pitches-pac-12 Fri, 10 May 2013 07:34:56 EDT 6986 Heading into the spring, it was difficult to imagine any duo in the West region stealing the recruiting spotlight from Gardena (Calif.) Serra's Adoree' Jackson and Dwight Williams. And while the five-star cornerback and four-star linebacker still rank as two of the more highly-recruited players in the country, some of the buzz has shifted to another set of teammates in Southern California. You won't hear much complaining from Jackson and Williams, however, as they share a locker room with the new dynamic duo.]]> http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/colleges/washington/post?id=6982 Thu, 9 May 2013 13:46:09 EDT 6982
