UW Drafted Players, and the Need for a BBall Facility

edited October 29 in Hardcore Husky Board
UW has admitted that they have been trying to get a basketball only facility for the past 5-7 years now. They have had no success.

With that said, the question must be asked: With so many players drafted in the NBA and getting contracts later on as well, why have they not gotten any major donations from those players?

I know UCLA has gotten major gifts from their bball players (Westbrook being most recent) and UA has gotten major gifts as well.

Player Earnings from UW:

Brandon Roy: $83 million
Nate Robinson: $25 million
Spencer Hawes: $34 million
Quincy Pondexter: $9 million
Terrence Ross: $8 million
Isaiah Thomas: $9 million
Jamal Crawford (honorary): $85 million
Jon Brockman: $3.5 million (doesn't include overseas earnings from last 4 years)
Tony Wroten: $3.5 million

Total: $260 million in NBA earnings. (That doesn't even include Romar, who has stolen earned around $19 million in his time here)

    Just guessing out loud, but Hawes seems like the type of guy who would donate. B-Roy maybe as well. I doubt any others would.

    I fully expect Hawes to become a football booster at some point once he retires. He's been a UW fan his whole life.

    Kreist.....

    Your problem isn't a Bball facility or attracting top talent. Your problem is that you don't do shit with the talent you get.

    And a fancy gym isn't going to fix that.
