Washington has had a surprisingly good start as well though, all three losses are respectable and have a couple good wins in there as well. Usually I'd be cheering for them to not ruin the pac, but it's already shot by every one else so, let's hope the get pounded by eastern Washington on Thursday and we'll lock up Zoom!!

It's not as if Washington is running away with the game right now.

Tied at the under 4 media timeout. Place your bets:

Zoom: "These guys need me."
Zoom: "I don't need these guys."

After he set it up to have as many people as possible at his announcement, I assumed he was going to udub.

Tacoma as an announcement venue pretty much told the tale IMO.

My sacrificial offering to the basketball gods (since I'm near dead last anyway): If we get Zoom tomorrow I'll pick nothing but bench players in RAP. Beyond that I got nuthin'.

Meh. If he does pick UW, it’s his loss. That team isn’t going anywhere, and our ‘24 class is already loaded.

It took 2 OTs for UDub to beat Seattle U after being down 16 points.

Enjoy being the next Abdul Gaddy who turned down UA for UW.

;) He's just trying to rack up frequent flyer miles, you get way more when you fly from Seattle to Piscataway NJ and College Park MD than from Tucson to Lubbock. Must be a nice selling point to their prospects now. :P

Plus I would think he'd be behind Jaden Bradley right? JB is really playing well in the system and Zoom might not get the run he wants to be a one and doner. That plus the miles, maybe I'll go to Washington.

After this year we'll never hear of udub or ucla basketball again. It's like they'll get sucked into a black hole. They should just ax basketball altogether. Udub could put that money into football and maybe ucla can put the left over $ into the womens bball team.

Diallo would have been a luxury.

I believe Boswell will be back.

Boswell, Bradley, Philips, and Lewis are a respectable backcourt especially if Lewis improves his 3pt%.

I’m guessing Lloyd looks to add another guard/wing through the transfer portal.

Good luck with that, Zoom.

He gets to join an illustrious group of UW players to spend a year or two college, not win anything, and then bolt for the pros. Isaiah Stewart, Marquese Chriss, Markelle Fultz, Jaden McDaniels, Dejounte Murray, Jaylen Nowell…probably some others. The list is really a who’s who of utterly forgettable NCAA players.

So when he comes down to reality, and isn't draft ready, and hits the portal, are we still interested in him?

Sanon led Vermont Academy to a NEPSAC AAA championship just over two weeks ago and took visits to Kentucky and Louisville in the days that followed. Since then, Louisville fired head coach Kenny Payne and Kentucky accepted a commitment from Karter Knox.

A week ago, Sanon released a list of six finalists that still included Kentucky as well as UConn, Kansas, Arizona, Boston College, and Overtime Elite. Despite that list, Indiana and Oklahoma State were the only other schools that Sanon had officially visited.

The timing of his announcement is a bit of a surprise, particularly his reclassification, since it comes after rosters have been announced for both the McDonald’s All-American Game as well as the Nike Hoop Summit.

Sanon (5* wing), Peters (5* wing) joining returning wings Lewis, and Borovicanin...

That could get crowded. Lotsa talent!!
