A couple of days before the NFL draft, former Huskies defensive end Daniel Te'o-Nesheim said he didn't want to read anything into the fact that three teams had invited him to their cities for personal meetings.
"No one knows (what's going to happen)," he said. "And if they do know, they're lying."
In Te'o-Nesheim's case, however, it happily meant quite a bit that the Philadelphia Eagles had recently flown him to town for an interview and workout.
Friday, the Eagles chose him in the third round, with the 86th overall pick, a selection that would have been deemed surprisingly high a few months ago when the conventional wisdom was that Te'o-Nesheim would be a late-round pick, at best.
Te'o-Nesheim went just seven picks after the San Diego Chargers took UW linebacker Donald Butler, also in the third round.
They became the first UW players drafted since quarterback/receiver Isaiah Stanback (Dallas) and safety Dashon Goldson (49ers) went in the fourth round in 2007. And they were the highest-selected Huskies since Khalif Barnes was taken in the second round in 2005 by Jacksonville.

The annual Jordan Brand Classic is finally here, and yet again, it will play host to a slew of talented players like always.
Two guys are set to announce where they will go to school next season: Josh Selby and Doron Lamb.
Selby, who probably is still thinking about his decision of where to go, has narrowed his list down to Kansas, UConn, Kentucky, Arizona, and Tennessee.
On the flip side, Lamb has known where he was going to school for awhile; he's just been keeping us guessing. He has narrowed his teams down to Arizona, UConn, Kentucky, Kansas, West Virginia, and Oklahoma.

STORRS
Five weeks of spring practice comes to an end today with the Blue-White scrimmage at Rentschler Field.
The game is at noon. Admission is free. So is parking.
That should be enough to bring out the fans, but today's forecast is not good. The weatherman is calling for showers. Weather conditions rarely stop a football game from being played, but they do stop some people from showing up.
UConn Coach Randy Edsall made a call to the fans earlier this week to get out and support the team, which is the best, deepest and most experienced team Edsall has had. As important, something he has been looking for since he set foot on campus: whopping team speed.
The players set out on a mission in January, on their own, to prepare for 2010. They hooked up with the coaches on March 16 and have been going three days a week since. Now, it's time to see how far they've come, especially in certain areas.
