homeboy?
How much of an impact will Washington's NCAA apperance have on the school's recruiting? Only time will tell. For now, Lorenzo Romar is making all the right moves. Adding Jon Brockman would be a coup. From Mike DeCourcy's Inside Dish:Expect PF Jon Brockman of Snohomish, Wash., to decide on a college within a month. Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski has made recruiting Brockman a priority, but it will be a challenge for him and North Carolina coach Roy Williams to lure Brockman away from West Coast schools, such as UCLA and Washington. Most analysts do not rate Brockman in the top 10, but he might be the most desirable recruit in the class of 2005. That's because his energy and strength should make him an immediate contributor at any program -- and Brockman appears likely to remain in school for four seasons. . . .
For my money (and with or without Brockman), Washington's as good a bet as any to be the third or fourth tournament team from the PAC 10 for each of the next two seasons.
