Ok let’s settle all of this nonsense
@CoachX11 what have you heard? We need a true inside talent to let us know what’s up.
I got nothing on him besides what you all got.
If I had to make an "EDUCATED GUESS", I would predict that some agents may have gotten in play. Which happens a lot more on the west coast than the east coast.
Every coach that's somebody (Not me yet) have guys who are in their corner that are agents. It's just finding a tricky connection.
Seattle is home to a lot of money and heavy hitters in the basketball industry. It wouldn't surprise me if that had anything to do with it.
However I don't really know.
I'll say this... it's very tough recruiting anyone thousands of miles away. I've been burned by West Coasts guys at the last minute on my level also.
The fact that the pick isn't for Washington and it's just undecided isn't the worst of news. UK fans shouldn't start panicking.
I will guarantee you that Coach Cal and company hated that the info came out last week about him leaning towards UK. The best thing for them is keeping things quiet and "shocking" people.
Probably led Washington to start bringing in the reinforcements or "deal sweetners".
There are so many variables to a high level cross-country recruit things are always fluid.
I'm not sure he's much better than K. Whitney which you all have coming in. He played in the NorthEast, so I'm a little more intuned to recruits that area of the country.
End of the story is this: There was probably a counterpunch on the Washington side.
A GREAT recruiter always saves something in his bag to close the deal.
^ A figure of speech more so than implying money.
