Nooooooooooo…..
Things were looking so great on Montlake. Romar has his best team since Nate Robinson and Brandon Roy were balling on the floor (and this 2009 group is arguably better). UW is coming off its first outright Pac 10 championship in a couple of generations. Sure, we lost Jon Brockman and Justin Dentmon, but we got one of the best high schoolers in the country in Abdul Gaddy. Isaiah Thomas was the Pac 10 Freshman of the Year. Venoy Overton is the Pac 10s most suffocating defensive player. Quincy Pondexter is the only senior, but he’s come of age and is approaching B-Roy territory in terms of talent and experience. And UW is so deep that pretty much every player could start at any other school in the conference.
And then this happens….
Damn you, Sports Illustrated! Damn you!!!!!!
At least you guys get ranked and had an SI cover. I’d kill to see Rutgers there one day. This year has not been that year that I dream of. Oh well maybe next season.
