It's a quiet Tuesday in the offseason, but there's plenty brewing across the Husky sports landscape. Let's break down the biggest headlines, from the B1G's massive revenue numbers to standout performances and roster updates.
Counting the Cash: B1G Revenue Sharing
The expanded B1G Conference—now featuring Washington, UCLA, USC, and Oregon—reported a staggering $1.47 billion in revenue for the 2024-25 season. That's a lot of zeros, and it raises the big question: just how big of a slice will the Huskies get? Early reports suggest UW's share could be competitive with conference rivals, a welcome boost for the athletic department as it navigates the new landscape.
Health Check: Injured Huskies
The injury list is refreshingly short this spring, and none of the names appear to be season-enders. Christian Caple takes a closer look at each player's recovery timeline, highlighting which ones could make a real impact once they're fully cleared. Keep an eye on a few key contributors who might surprise us when fall camp rolls around.
Jonah Coleman: Making a Name in the NFL
Former Husky running back Jonah Coleman is already turning heads with the Denver Broncos. Head coach Sean Payton has been particularly impressed with Coleman's pass protection skills—a critical trait for any back hoping to see the field early. It's a testament to the coaching he received at Washington, and a reminder that the little things often separate the good from the great.
Softball Heads to Regionals
The Husky softball team is dancing again. As a No. 7 seed, Washington heads to the Fayetteville Regional in Arkansas, where they'll face South Florida in the opener. This marks the program's 32nd consecutive NCAA Regional appearance—a remarkable streak that speaks to the consistency and excellence Coach Tarr has built. Congratulations to the entire squad!
Roster Deep Dive: CJ Christian
Dan Raley at SI is working his way through the entire Husky roster, profiling every player from jersey number 0 to 99. Today's feature: transfer safety CJ Christian, who came to Washington from FIU but has battled injuries during his time in Seattle. When healthy, his athleticism and instincts could provide valuable depth in the secondary.
NBA Draft Stock Rising: Hannes Steinbach
Hannes Steinbach is making waves ahead of the NBA Draft. At the combine, the 6'10.25" forward (barefoot) measured in at 248 pounds with a 7'2.25" wingspan and a 9'0" standing reach. He's added nearly an inch and 19 pounds over the past two years, and his measurements are drawing strong reviews. Most mock drafts now have him going in the first round, somewhere around the top 15. Keep your eyes on this one—he's a name you'll be hearing a lot more of on draft night.
