Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Troy Brown just made Oregon and Washington better

Espn ranked 18th overall player Troy Brown just picked Oregon, which then led to Daejon Davis to re commit to Washington. Oregon only had one scholarship left and it was going to either Davis or Brown. Davis set his announcement time 15 minutes after Brown. Word is, if Brown had not picked Oregon, Davis would, but since Brown picked Oregon and used their last scholarship, Davis went back to Washington.... so win/win?

    I'll gladly take being 2nd choice to Oregon in basketball while we're skullfucking them in football.

    Very true...

    It really sucks, because I forgot what a football skullfucking felt like. Unfortunately, thanks to Helfrich, I'm getting quite used to it.

    Romar is getting cucked by Altman?

    But a serious question: How does Romar continue to get elite recruiting classes year after year? You would think that recruits would catch on to the fact that he can't coach for shit, kind of like how the recruits caught on to Ernie while he was at Oregon. But they don't...

    Not sure he really does get elite classes year after year. I think his recruiting exploits have been pretty exaggerated.

    Per Scout rankings (self flagged for Scout, self wtf'ed for TBS)

    2017 - 4
    2016 - 18
    2015 - 6
    2014 - NR*
    2013 - NR*
    2012 - NR*
    2011 - 21
    2010 - NR*
    2009 - 23
    2008 - 22
    2007 - 30 (actually found rankings beyond 25 for that year)
    2006 - 6
    2005 - 16

    *outside top 25

    So of the 13 seasons in the Scout database UW has:
    1 top 5 class.
    3 top 10 classes.
    5 top 20 classes.
    8 top 25 classes

    What's really amazing is that Romar survived that dreckfest recruiting run in 2010 - 2014 (well other than the fact that he's survived the run of 5 straight year with no tourney), but Washington hates winners.

    Davis is another in a line of undisciplined UW players that will likely be 1-2 years tops in college

    I might be over stating a little bit, but I think Altman is the Chris Peterson of college basketball.

    Came from a smaller conference, but taking the big boys by storm. Altman has Oregon poised for a National Title this year or next year. It's crazy...

    Like Peterson, he turned a flailing program and made them great. The one exception being, Oregon wasn't really great in basketball to begin with.

    No just no... More similar to Urban Meyer jumping from Utah to Florida
