fuzzy math
Teams are allowed to have 13 players on scholarship. Washington currently has 12, having gained one back with center Anthony Washington's departure.Of the 12, three, Will Conroy, Tre Simmons and Hakeem Rollins, are seniors. Yet Lorenzo Romar has inked seven (!) high schoolers to letters of intent, guaranteeing them scholarships.
Huh?
Nate Robinson is as good as gone to the NBA. Brandon Roy may join him. As might high school phenom Martell Webster.
If all three flee, Washington is in the clear. But if even one returns and each of the preps qualifies academically, how will the Huskies fulfill their obligations? Nobody knows.
