Shaqquan Aaron to UW
Comments

Jason has good information regarding players from the state. However, the guy has fluffed up numerous players from Washington who went on be non factors in college because he knew them.
Aaron is a former top 30 recruit. He has some buddies from Beach on the team. It's fucking idiotic to say stay away from him. There's nothing to lose. If he doesn't turn out or is a problem, so what? UW already sucks.

In related news, Rainier Beach Jr. Keith Smith will cancel his verbal commit to San Diego St. (which I never understood...he's right up there talent-wise with Murray and Aaron. Definitely power conference talent).
UW is his top choice. Oregon is offering as well.
If UW can reel in Smith after getting Aaron, Murray and Crisp, the RBV pipeline will have been firmly established.
Also a possibility former RBV SF Dijuan Piper transfers in from the JC he's attending in Idaho...academics may still be an issue for him. Romar tried to get him in out of HS, but the grades weren't there. He hit the game winner in the state championship for Beach last year. Best defensive player I've seen since Justin Holiday.
Just what I'm hearing in the streets...don't twist. BRB, phone. -
I heard Robert Upshaw worked out for UW.

He was the man at Rainier Beach even when they had Crisp AND Murray.
Things obviously didn't work out at Louisville. But he wasn't the only star recruit to bail on Pitino this year.
So the idea that he is some sort of cancer is wrong. You want cancer, go look at the former "star" PG that just put himself door.ass.out. because his teammates didn't suck his dick enough.
Dude scored 29 points last season.
He sucks until proven otherwise.
He also only played 166 minutes last season.
If Pitino didn't think he was ready physically, he should have redshirted him.
That's Sark-like roster management wrt redshirt burning.

I can't get excited about anything UW basketball related until Romar is done coaching. Hopefully this is all good news for the new coach!

Just because you did shit in HS doesn't mean you'll do shit in college.
Just because you did shit in college doesn't mean that you'll do shit professionally.
I have giant red flags when guys walk into a situation and think that they are entitled to success without having to work or take massive shortcuts. Pitino isn't an idiot. For him to say what he said tells you that at least at THIS point he hasn't taken to doing the things necessary to play at a high level at the college level. Sometimes a change in scenery isn't the worst thing and we all need a reboot from time to time.
However, given the recent comments that have come out about the UW program, it's hard not to think that the things he may need in his life regarding structure, etc. may not be strong suits of the current program.
As Pepsi said, I'm done with Romar. I just hope he moves on before he completely torpedoes the program and at least leaves the next coach (who will be young and relatively inexperienced most likely) with something to work with. -

But I'll take a talented player that wants to be here. Maybe Romar gets through to him, maybe he doesn't.

It's a lot easier to be good if you have talent to work with.
