What were the doogman and spadoFS's excuses for why Zach Lavine never even sniffed UW?

5star player in your backyard and barely gives us a look. Character issues? He was in on someone better, like Jamel Taylor?

Pretty sure the company lins were "Bruins were his dream school" and "NGW is better anyway".

NWG and Lavine was attainable and would have been a great class if Romar didn't try and get the most unrealistic class ever. I remember when people thought Romar was going to land Jabari Parker and Aaron Gordon lol. He's best friend with Jabaris dad and the Gordon family loves Romar!11

THIS. Doogs excuses him bringing in zero kids the previous class because he had Gordon, Parker and Bird locked up.

Ro is lazy. Plain and simple. Much easier to pretend you'll get the talent that is known than to beat the bushes for the unknown.

Maybe that's what a 10 yr contract does to you.

Cuntwaffle, Remember Romar brought in nobody last year as he saved those scholarships for Gordon, Bird and Parker who Doogs actually believed were coming here.

Anyone with half a brain knew they weren't coming here.

Romar had back to back awful recruiting classes. The Wroten year you had him and 6 others with none of them being worth much(Andrews would be an 8th man on a good team). Then the following year brought in zero high school players.

Romar flat punted two classes and nobody in our media called him on it.

Lavine's not very good. He will only be the best player in the conference if he comes back next year. No big loss.

To their credit, a couple of semi-free thinking doogman members called out beach on calling lavine "soft" and griswold for saying jamel taylor would have a better career. That's right up there with Ektard saying Nathan Dean has a higher ceiling than Garnett and Banner combined.

Beach has always been a moron. He's not a dick like the football trio, but he has no business being a lead hoops analyst, even for a shitty website.

Griswald actually said Taylor would have a better career? I would hope he meant that Taylor would be a solid contributor for 3-4 years and LaVine was going to be one and done. In that sense, it's still stupid, but not quite as bad.

Beach might be the biggest idiot I've ever seen when it comes to talking hoops.

The number of people that still continue to wonder how the UW didn't make the conference tournament after winning the regular season title a few years ago flat out fucking amazes me.

When the lead analyst anywhere doesn't have a fucking clue what a good team looks like or what it takes to make or miss the NCAA tournament, you've got problems.

I also thoroughly enjoy the people that are giving Romar credit this year for essentially reaching what the preseason expectations for him while glossing over that those preseason expectations were a fucking dreckfest.

He had ZERO pts against the Cougs.






And He's white. Nuff said.
