Prediction 4: The Defense will get commitments from 1 to 3 players

As the future class begins to round out, the coaches will begin to turn their attention away from skill players and towards defense.  And the defense has plenty of opportunity for the right candidates.

The team has commitments from two defensive players.  June 2017 will improve on that. The team is making inroads with any number of solid defensive players.

Dawg Days Of Summer

Right now, Washington.247Sports.com has the team rated “warm” on 12 defensive players with offers from the Washington Huskies.  As the month progresses, one to three of those players will determine the time is right to commit to UW.

Look for an inside linebacker, defensive tackle, and/or cornerback to take the leap up to the Washington Huskies.  Or look for all three.   While more is better, I’m of the opinion at least one joins the recruiting class of 2018.
