An Instant Classic from The CEO
Tuesday: CEO Kim Grinolds chimes in from London (he wanted everyone to know that he still works the phones while he is on vacation). Says that there is a lot of misinformation out there and wanted to clear the air. According to his sources, Romar is still VERY interested in McLaughlin and is still recruiting him very hard. McLaughlin is getting some bad information and pressure from people around him but is still very interested in UW and UW is still very interested in him.
Wednesday: McLaughlin's dad posts on dawgman and essentially says that Romar has given Jaquori the cold shoulder and has not been in communication with him or the family since he committed months ago. Says Romar has moved on to other players and says without saying that his son is no longer interested in UW due to the lack of communication.
On a side note, I spoke to an acquaintance a few days ago who is a high school coach and very involved in the high school hoops scene in the south sound. He did not have the best things to say about McLaughlin's play translating to the college game.

I don't know if I buy Romar, at this point, turning down a top 50player in his back yard who he already has in his back pocket. But maybe he's just FS. I watched his film and he seemed pretty damn good to me. I'm sure he'll end up at Arizona and doogs will still say WDWHA

Roman giving the cold shoulder to any top 100 player in the area seems suicidal considering one of the main arguments for keeping him is keeping the local talent at home.
Something about this seems strange all around. Having a dad come to a message board seems like a high maintenance overly involved family presence.
I'm sure it's a headache to recruit, but At the end of the day, if he can play when the ball is rolled out you need to make an effort.
Romar is dangerously close to tarnishing his legacy if it comes out he already threw in the white towel and is just cashing checks.
He needs to pull a rabbit out of the hat in a bad way or this will go down as lesson 101 on how not to leave with dignity.
Seriously embarrassing shit surrounding the men's bball program. -
I had to go over and read this stuff. McLaughlin's dad seems like a decent guy, but is way too involved with his son's decision. Dad has always been a big Husky fan and pressured his son (along with others) to commit. He wanted his son to be a home town hero.
Bananas, you seemed to take some liberties with transcribing. Daddy McLaughlin said his son was concerned about things with the program, talked with Romar and de-committed. I'm not sure he can imply without saying that it was because of Romar when he actually writes the reason(s) why he de-committed.
The kid is looking into better basketball programs. I can't say I blame him.
On Romar's end, this is the 2nd time the kid has de-committed. The dad openly posts on a UW message board. He probably was okay with a mutual separation. -

Hey, if a player wants to be apart of that stupid thing called march madness, we don't want you anyway.
