Seattle Sports: In the Morning

Mariners' flight plan next year: 55,000 miles.

The Muckleshoot Tribe offered that land to Clay Bennett to build an arena. What have they heard back? Not surprisingly, crickets.

Brandon Roy's heel is flaring up again and he might sit for the whole preseason.

Some hot shit WR recruit from Colorado passed his ACT and should play for the Dawgs next year. Good thing, as the Dawgs top four WR all graduate this year.

Meet the Dawgs new starting free safety: Darin Harris, who missed all of '06 with a back injury.

The Times Bob Condotta checked out a Husky basketball practice and filed extensive notes. The points I found interesting: Venoy Overton ought to contribute right away, Artem Wallace looked out of shape, and Joe Wolfinger's still healthy.

Wazzu's Taylor Rochestie is giving up his scholarship so the Cougs can get some other recruit. "This shows how much of a leader and great teammate Taylor is," Bennett said of Rochestie. "It's such an unselfish act." Ummm...shouldn't we be congratulating his parents?
