Dawgman.com's Editor (@Chris_Fetters), Chris follows a ton of accounts and retweets tons of tweets of interest to UW fans on a daily basis. And then there's the occasional fact or note that pops into his head that ends up as a tweet. And if you like soccer, golf or baseball hot takes, he might have a few of those too from time to time.

Coach Hop's twitter feed (@Coach_Hopkins) embodies his trademark energy and enthusiasm. It's mostly tweets about Washington Basketball, but he also covers holidays, other celebratory occasions - like International Women's Day - and the occasional tweet about his family or his favorite rock band, Pearl Jam.

Our team had such a great experience last night at the ballpark. Thanks again to the @Mariners for putting our guys up on the Jumbotron??#SeaUsRise #TougherTogether #GoHuskies???? pic.twitter.com/n6dLihKYXF

Greg's twitter feed (@GregBiggins) is one of the three twitter must-follows when it comes to the 247Sports' recruiting team. Greg has been covering football recruiting on the west coast since his days with Student Sports in the mid-90's. He handled player personnel for the Nike Football Training Camps for 15 years and also was on the Elite 11 QB Camp selection committee for well over a decade. Greg breaks news on all the top west coast prospects, including a ton that end up signing with Washington.

A transplant from southern California, Huffman moved up to the greater-Seattle area in 2005 a couple of years after becoming the West Coast Recruiting Analyst for Scout. It was then where he made the move to National Director of Recruiting, a title he's held at Scout and now at 247Sports ever since. His twitter account is a must-follow for any UW recruiting fan, as well as fans of the local high school scene. As Co-Founder and Director of Media for Avery Huffman Defeat DIPG Foundation, Huffman also keeps alive the memory of his daughter Avery, who passed away three years ago after a brave battle with brain cancer. If you are interested in helping support the fight to defeat DIPG, Brandon's twitter account (@BrandonHuffman) is also a must-follow.

Three years ago Blair moved from Rivals to Scout, where he killed it covering the Mountain states and Hawaii. He's become an indispensable part of Dawgman.com's recruiting coverage, especially with the resurgence of Washington's presence in the islands. His twitter account (@bangulo) is a must-follow because of UW's emerging footprint in Hawaii, Utah, Nevada and Arizona. His analysis of the prospects from these states is second to none.

If you want to follow one person when it comes to Washington prep football, Ryland's twitter account (@RylandSpencer) is a virtual treasure trove. No one watches more games in a season than the lead writer for Cascadia Preps (@CascadiaPreps)on the 247Sports Network. He's also a consultant for Russell Wilson's QB Academy, so he has that going for him too. And if all that isn't enough, food and hockey hot takes put his account over the top. Follow him before it's too late.

The Dean of the Pac-12 beat writers (@wilnerhotline), Wilner was named Beat Writer of the Year in 2013 by the Football Writers Association of America for his coverage of the Pac-12. He's the one must-follow for UW fans interested in the Huskies as well as the rest of the Pac-12. His breakdowns of the conference's business dealings and media rights are also must-follows.
