Davis sucks ... so that's not a huge loss imo if he leaves ...
I'd prefer to have Nowell in the program than not ... but he's far from irreplaceable -
There are dozens of 6'3", 6'4" shooting guards in this country. There are hundreds in Serbia or the Ukraine. LIFPO.ThomasFremont said:

Maybe they need to get bitch slapped that UW is no longer the safe fall-back school at their beck and call.ThomasFremont said:I thought Hopkins was a great recruiter? Can't even convince the local guys to stay.
SAD.
Lots of schools win without access to local talent. Sean Elliott is about the only 'great' I've ever heard come out of Tucson.
The fact that they are local should make the sales job that much easier, especially for an alleged great recruiter.
If he pulls talent from the other side of the country or some foreigner, fine. But he just lost 2 top guys from our back yard. Unless he has a replacement lined up, this is a fail.
UW lost Trier and Cunnliffe too before that. Big deal. -

Trier didn't go to HS in Seattle, and Cunliffe is a faggot.PurpleThrobber said:

What else you got? -
Never said that ... just saying that if they don't want to be here then whatever ...
At this point way more important that any recruit that joins buys in than anything else ...
The culture change needs to happen before anything else -
Cunliffe is a headcase. Agreed.ThomasFremont said:

Losing Davis is not a big deal. There are dozens like him.

I'm shocked that people are shocked that kids would want to leave after the coach who got them there was fired.
Newsflash: those kids don't give a fuck about washington. So fuck them. Get some guys in there who are committed to the school, not some loser head coach who loses to yale. -
I'm not saying WDWTA
What I'm saying is that if we learned anything from the Sark to Pete transition it is that a culture change can take up to 2 full seasons ... we were slightly helped here in that there were a number of our top players that bought in pretty quickly because they saw Sark for what he was ...
The problem with Romar is that so many think that he walked in water (insanely stupid) ... so I am not losing sleep by anybody leaving or not wanting to show up because they don't want to buy in ...
We will have short-term problems next year from a depleted roster and TBD challenges from recruiting locally ... we may have some opportunities in having a large recruiting class in 2018 and/or 2019 full of people that buy into what we are selling -
