Washington hires Neighbors

[Phil]

Good decision, he is a good guy.

Seems like people close to the situation are pleased with the hire, including the players. Hopefully WU can continue recruiting well and make a splash in the Pac 12

 

[Phil]

Yeah the players are pretty happy with it, which will help make sure there is no push for LOI releases.

Obviously, he's a fine coach. Will be interesting to see how McGuff fares without him.

I think that hiring relatives may be illegal, but hiring neighbors is just fine.

this is a great hire for the other Huskies...lol...Mike is a great coach and good man...have known him for years...all the way back to high high school coaching days...has great knowledge of the game and excellent recruiter...could do for UW what Gary Blair has done for A&M...he will be in the thick of the Pac 12 race year in and out in no time...adding Collier and Plum won't hurt him either...

Were they from Portland and Vancouver of something?

Well he learned a lot from Blair, so that makes sense.
