Coach Romar talks about his Freshmen on KJR

Huskies’ coach, Lorenzo Romar, did a 12-minute interview with KJR Saturday morning and spoke about the incredible experience of winning the Pac-10 last season, including the fact that people seem to remember the last thing a team has done, so he feels like recruits are paying the program a little more respect after last season. He also spoke a bit about the new faces on the team this year. Listen here if you’d like, but here are some of the highlights from his appearance:

• Coach said he thought Tyreese Breshers would be the best football player of all the Husky hoops guys, but said Venoy would be pretty good as well.
• Also regarding Tyreese, he said he was healthy now, but had to get into shape.
• Without mentioning them by name, Coach commented on Tony Wroten and Josh Smith playing football. He said you always have to be concerned about injury, but said he thought it was great to play multiple sports. And, he said football players usually make good defenders in basketball.
• He called Clarence Trent “a physical specimen,” and a “high-level athlete” who hustles and will provide a lot of highlight reel stuff while at UW.
• He said C.J. Wilcox can really create his own shot in addition to being a terrific shooter. He said he projects to be a good defensive player, while comparing him to Tre Simmons, another unheralded recruit.
• Coach Romar called Abdul Gaddy “beyond his years,” both on the floor and off.

Thanks for coming!
