TJ ESPN(UPDATED @ 3:30 PST) The Stanford Cardinal Basketball Examiner has this ranking of the 2010 Pac-10 hoops recruiting classes, and puts UW sixth. With so many recruits still up in the air, though, it’s hard to put much stock in ranking the classes yet.

Here’s a long feature on Terrence Jones on ESPN.com. Nothing super-new as far as recruiting, but if you want to learn more about Terrence Jones, the high school baller (as opposed to Terrence Jones, prized recruit), give it a read.

Thanks to Percy Allen for pointing out this interview with Lorenzo Romar from 710 AM. Coach mentions again that it’s just not going to be possible to get playing time for all 12 guys on the roster, but says that the guys “who are part of a group that makes the best team,” will get onto the floor. Check out our thoughts on the rotation here.

This article on Scout.com lists many of the recruits taking college visits this weekend. In the lead to the story, it mentions that Josh Smith told UCLA he would not be visiting this weekend.

And, on Scout’s pay site, there’s a feature on Spencer Dinwiddie, one of our potential 2011 targets. Spencer mentions 17 schools that have been recruiting him, and that he’s visited UCLA, USC and UW’s Elite Camp. Interestingly, he mentions playing time first among the factors that will go into his decision.

romar mic copyHuskies’ 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!
