A few weeks after signing one of the highest ranked classes in school history, the Washington men’s basketball team got an early start on assembling the 2016 group.

The recent upswing in recruiting continued after the Huskies secured a verbal commitment Saturday from Peninsula High star JaQuori McLaughlin, who is rated the top junior prospect in the state by ESPN.com.

“I’m doing it now because this is what I really want,” he said. “I want to be in Washington where my family is. I built a great relationship with coach (Lorenzo) Romar. He’s the whole reason why I want to go to Washington.”

The 6-3, 170-pound point guard from Gig Harbor averaged 19.6 points, 3.3 assists and 4.1 steals as a sophomore. He’s considered a four-star prospect by ESPN, Scout and Rivals.

Here’s a link to video highlights from his 2013-14 season.

McLaughlin picked UW over Arizona and Washington State.

Did the 5 star 2016 PG already decommit?

He’s the second 2016 prospect to verbally commit to Washington following Jermaine Haley, a 6-7 four-star guard from Burnaby, British Columbia, who decommitted from UW in July.

Well damn. Haley was supposed to be nasty. I wonder if his decommitment had anything to do with Etienne leaving?

According to everybody Haley was a fucking moron that failed out of one of those "do your worksheet" basketball prep schools (apparently thats possible)and will probably be going to Europe instead of college, which is actually kind of smart.
