He's got a grcoat adjace coming next year.
And yeah, UW is getting their Beasley
Did I just fall asleep and wake up in April of 2016? He just had his worst season with a top two draft pick. Two years ago he had three top 60 recruits, not counting the guy who will be a top two pick in three months and has done dick since landing any of these dudes. They're going to get Porter next season, end up with a fourth place finish in the Pac 12, a nine seed, one and done in the tournament then Porter will be gone and UW will still have Romar. YAY
UW wants Romar gone or at least the people I talk to. Porter has four little brothers, one is a junior in a high school and is more of a true post. He is fighting for that fifth star. The Porter gravy train has just started.
Yeah, they've had good recruits lately and sucked, but next year will be the first year of the players that are part of the moapd (mother of all package deals) that they're bigly invested in with both money and effort.
They gave the unqualified Porter dad an assistant coach job (I think the highest-paying one on their staff). The whole family moved up, and Brandon Roy was installed as head coach of one of the shittiest high school basketball teams in the city. All the home-schooled Porter kids signed up to play there, and then other good players transferred, and the team just wrapped up an undefeated state 'ship, with them all saying they're committed to Romar, not UW. The 2nd oldest kid who is theoretically a "junior" is probably gonna be home-schooled extra so he can go to UW next year w/his older brother. As mcat pointed out, Romar's got a ridic buyout - especially when you view it as pay this in exchange for losing your grcoata - and I think even the lol assistant coach dad has a contract that would have to get bought out. And Roy probably has some sort of promise to move up to UW soon.
You can def suspect that this is a poor strategy, but the costs are pretty much sunk at this point, so why not take a shot?
There's some small similarities in the whole thing to us hiring Frank. It pretty much had to be done for the recruits, and there wasn't some alternative coach out there that would be worth blowing the whole thing up for. IIRC, we then finished 4th, got an 11 seed, WHIPPED USC'S ASS before bowing out, and then still had Frank. But in our case, it certainly was worth it as it snowballed into the best KSU basketball in decades.
