Recruiting Round-up: At least the season is starting!

November 9, 2011 in Uncategorized by Themod | 11 comments

As we enter the early signing window (when recruits can officially sign letters of intent), Coach Romar and his staff don’t have any verbal commitments which has many people worried.

Romar has stated that next year’s recruiting class (2013) is more of a priority for him than this year’s (2012), but being the only Pac-12 school without a commitment in November is still worrisome.

I’m not in panic mode yet as I believe in Romar’s recruiting ability (he’s very underrated). There is still 6+ months left and he always seems to get great last-minute gems (Ross, Breunig, Aziz, etc).

TheHuskyHaul.com has been doing a great job on keeping up with recruiting this summer/fall and i urge you to head there if you want the latest and greatest.

Here is a recruiting update with who is being reported/rumored to have interest with UW or vice-versa.

Landen Lucas - PF, 6-8 240lb: 

A three-star PF prospect from Portland who just visited Romar and the Dawgs last weekend for the SPU game. Lucas is down to his final four schools (UW, Cal, Stanford, Tennessee) and will announce his choice on November 16th, the last day of the signing period.

The CHOLsen One

Update @ 9:25 pm: Angelo Chol has reportedly cut Washington and Alabama from his list of five.

Chol’s twitter: “Man it was a tough choice Washington and Alabama were both great schools.”

At 12:45 pm PST on Thursday, 2/17 the world will learn where Angelo Chol will be playing his collegiate basketball in 2011. He will be having a public announcement at Hoover High School in San Diego which can be seen at Kbcsports.com.

Yes, that’s right folks. Another high school gymnasium online broadcast which is sure to draw the fans and all the drama that comes with it. For those of you who still haven’t shaken your fatal illness of the Jones, I would just close your eyes and wake up when this thing is over.

Chol will be sitting down with Coach Ollie Ghoulston following tonight’s league championship game to discuss his choices. Word on the street is that he may even eliminate two choices tonight. As it stands now, the schools in the running for Chol’s services are (in no particular order): Arizona, Alabama, Kansas, North Carolina and Washington.

No one really has gotten a definite beat as to where he is headed. However, those following this story closely in Seattle are feeling good about their chances after Chol’s official visit.

This sets up to possibly be yet another a huge day for the University of Washington and Lorenzo Romar. Romar has had the longest standing relationship with Chol since his recruitment began and according to a recent article released by PointguardU (Arizona recruting website), Romar may be the closest to him as well.

And for those of you following Twitter this weekend, Tony Wroten tweeted the following:

“Talkin to angelo chol right now and he said. He really don’t care bout the state or school. He just cares bout the coach. Welp coach ro is the best for u. “

I know what you are all thinking. Why Craig, oh why are you hyping us up for a potential let down? Call me a glutton for punishment, but I am feeling positive about what I have read on the NET the last couple of days. Am I certain? Absolutley not. But Wroten and Stewart have definitely provided us hope that we have a legit shot.

Terrence Jones Visiting UW’s First Practice

October 6, 2009 in Uncategorized by Themod | 11 comments

terrence jones on court copyTerrence Jones’s mom told Zagsblog that Terrence will take his official visit to UW on October 16th, the same weekend that the Dawgs will host their Midnight Madness-style practice at Hec Ed.

What better way to show Terrence what the Dawg Pack and the rest of the crowd can do, and let him imagine himself participating next year?

According to his mom, he’ll be visiting Oklahoma the week before, Arizona a week after UW, Kentucky on the 28th, and UCLA on November 6. It’s likely that he’ll take an unofficial visit at Oregon on October 31st.

By the way, since we throw around “official visit” and “unofficial visit” so frequently when it comes to recruiting, here’s a good site explaining the difference between the two.

Hey, thanks for coming!
