How long until we can start blaming him for our suckage?

Asking for a friend.

Please, nobody do it.

All the transfers were just KO clearing room for us to grab Shittu, Quickley, and Reddish for 2018?

We can look forward to more west coast recruiting... He also specializes in guards, guess we don't need anyone who specializes in bigs. Not like that had anything to do with our starting center leaving.

Our starting center, who in two years had demonstrated that he was badly overrated coming in, and who had shown negligible improvement?

Yes, I want more of the guy who recruits and develops that.

He's the best DMV recruiter in the country and worked with the bigs at UW so basically you're wrong on both accounts there

Oz did say something like extra spot for 2018. Class loaded

I never said he was good, but he was the only player with experience, I also have no faith in Cobb and Carlton to do any better in their first years.

Story from William Paxton:

Hallelujah! May the bleeding now stop.

 

[Coach J]

No doubt in my mind that staff sources strategically timed dropping this to reporters after Vance Jackson news.

As they should have.

Washington Huskies

Chillious played a key role in coaching guards at Washington - including Isaiah Thomas, who was a two-time All-Pac-10 performer. He also established his foothold in the world of recruiting by helping Romar form highly acclaimed 2010 and 2011 classes.

Since returning to Seattle, Chillious picked up where he left off helping mentor the team’s guards while leading the recruiting resurgence that featured the nation’s No. 7 class last season. Chillious was also key in landing the signing of Markelle Fultz for the class of 2017. Fultz, a McDonald’s All-American, is ranked in the top 10 nationally by all ranking services.

While at Villanova in 2013, he helped the Wildcats to a 20-14 record, 10-8 in BIG EAST action. He coached third team All-BIG EAST selection JayVaughn Pinkson and All-Rookie team member Ryan Arcidiacono and Villanova notched three wins over top-five ranked opponents, including a 73-64 victory over eventual national champion Louisville. The Wildcats earned a No. 9 seed in the NCAA tournament and lost in the first round to North Carolina. Arcidiacono most recently earned Most Outstanding Player honors at the 2016 NCAA Championships as Villanova won the national title.

We need this guy just for, as the kids say, the lulz

Best just not to respond to anything that poster says.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Daejon Davis asking for release from Washington. Coach Chills you know what to do.

Now we just need this "Fultz forgoing the draft, transferring to UConn"... I can dream can't I?

 

[ctchamps]

Thank God. We are now 1-4 in recent news. Time for the comeback. Needed something positive.

Wrong. The house cleaning was necessary. The trajectory was always positive.

 

[superjohn]

Yay we got the associate head coach from Washington!!!!

We got one of the best recruiters in the nation, the type of guy we should have gotten over a decade ago but stick with your sarcasm.

You're totally wrong but stick with it.

 

[ctchamps]

What a goshdarn roller coaster. If the bleeding stops with transfers, the past week is a net positive. Just not so confident that is the case...

Let them leave. If they can't hack difficulty let them become Boneyard posters.

 

[ctchamps]

Missed former associate coach at Nova.

 

[husky429]

Great news!

We needed another monster recruiter.

Any bigs he's connected to? We need a body for next year.
