    NBA guys usually do well because 'they know the NBA' and that attracts players, who like their connections. Mac10 literally just came to me last night.

    I don't see smart as even remotely an option, but if you could hire any of the people freemont put on the list this year, you fire romar(errrrr, give him a chance to resign). Every one of those guys would keep the recruiting class intact.

    Woody will forever lose the name Pool Boy if he has the balls to call Romar in at the end of this season and say "Shall we do this the easy way (resign and help keep the team together) or the hard way (GTFO)?"

    Smart is a long shot. But you make the call and make him say no before crossing him off.

    IF Romar was replaced, the new HC just has to keep Murray. The other local guys would come to UW anyways. Maybe the CA big guy needs some convincing too, but Murray is the prize.
    Who gives a shit about keeping Murray if you have a shitty coach?

    Huh?

    I said: "IF Romar was replaced, the new HC just has to keep Murray."

    Why wouldn't you want the new coach to keep the best recruit???

    I think DeCurie is going to end up being a solid coach as well. First season with the Griz and tied for first in the Big Sky. I think he went to hs somewhere on the east side. Don't think he's ready for the P12 at this point though.

    You can't win without talent, and last time i checked murray has a lot of talent. Romar needs him, any program who wants to win isn't winning with winters as your future.

    I don't know if jason mccleary still poasts on DM.c but he seemed to be one of the only people who really was in the know of high school kids and coaches. He has been very high on travis for a long time. I don't know much about assistants but he seemed to always talk about him being a solid option in the future.

    It would be tough for UW to swallow him as the option after romar, but we also have to be serious about our options. Fucking UCLA got alford. Either they are certifiably insane, or the market wasn't nearly as good as many assume to come out west.

    Unless it produces a final four, Murray's 1 and done season isn't worth holding the program hostage over.

    Think back to when we got surefire 1 and done Wroten with Ross returning.

    Had we known that would be worth an NIT would we have rather fired Romar and lost Wroten? I say yes.

    I'm not so sure he's one and done. He got passed over by the McD's AA game, so he needs to have a huge freshman season to get his name out there on the draft radar. He isn't as selfish as Wroten, so the stats might not be as lopsided. Good for a team, not so good for his draft stock.

    But I agree. No one player, or recruiting class, is bigger than the program.
