The Unforgettable Mistake That Cost UW More Than Just the Nation's Top Recruit 

This dude still has 6k? Wtf give the man 1m.

6 tournament appearances in 15 years and TONS of players who ended up going to the NBA. He had to go

So this is the video that the iconic intro was discovered

So this the beginning of the trap sax era... And jimmy's voice is not a bot anymore. Hahaha

I fuck with your channel bro. But my son has a better channel.

Honestly Washington was just too bad for him not to be fired. The Pac 12 isn't too great and there is no excuse to not pick up more than 2 conference wins with the best player in the country.

your slowly turning into my fav RU-vidr bro much respect! Keep up the hard work!!

Brodie got the cleanest commentary audio.

Great video, keep it up and you'll hit 100k in no time

For all I know your other videos are great stuff. But you're totally wrong here. Romar has been doing this same shit for years. We're the #210 program in the country BECAUSE of Romar. He acquires a great class every year, but he has no idea how to coach even tiny defensive basics. Romar is a great guy who has held his job through his consistent character, the way players love him, the way he gives the program a moral backbone and helps young men into the draft, and how he attracts top talent to Montlake. But he is a terrible coach. This is a continuation of a long-standing trend where Romar recruits well, then absolutely fails with them. And we're tired of it. We have kept the #82 recruit in the country, Jaylen Nowell, who ACTUALLY WANTS TO PLAY FOR UW and didn't just buy into Romar's sales pitch of future NBA success. He wants to be a Husky and that's more valuable to the team. We've also recruited two extremely underrated local guards, Michael Carter III and Nate Pryor, who will be solid 4 year players, the type of players Romar thought he was too good for but who will pour their hearts out into the program. And our new coach is a solid Xs and Os guy who will TEACH DEFENSE. None of the Husky faithful give a shit about the one and done Porter brothers who only committed to UW because Romar gave their dad a job. We don't give a shit about Blake Harris who just wants the quickest path to the NBA. Admittedly Daejon Davis hurts because he was a talented local guy, but we're in good shape for next year. We need Noah Dickerson to stay, and if he does, we have lots of young guard depth, including David Crisp who was a great shooting guard last year, a good starting 3&D player in Matisse Thybulle, and pretty okay big man depth with Dickerson/Timmins/Dirusseau. AND WE WILL BE BETTER. Players like Matisse Thybulle, Carlos Johnson, and Sam Timmins should be great defensive players once our new coach shows them how it's done.

Nice jazz in the background

I agree w this video but I am from uw area and Romar is the shittiest coach in ncaa history

rip trap sax it’s been years since you’ve used it

if you up your thumbnail game you might pull in more views tbh... rn I was a little hesitant to click on it because it looked like bad quality but the vid is great quality. got my sub

Yo that handshake in the beginning is mad smooth😂🔥

Dude deserves way more subs

This day is the day the bg music became the Goat of the channel

I'm so hyped I'm a Mizzou fan and we might be good after a long drought

A youtube who follows high school ball and talks about it almost all of his videos? different and i love these vids

Great Channel

I'm with you. If UW was gonna be bad at some point, they should've just got an exciting season with a #1 recruit before they decided to change the look of the program. Exposure would've been better for them on all fronts. They could've waited a year

Romar was a phenomenal recruiter. Not the best coach. However, I think they should have gave him one more year, build the program with high level recruits, and then re-evaluate after that season. Cause if Romar couldn't get to the tourney with that recruiting class coming in then yes, he shouldn't be coaching. Just my opinion.

good video. Washington definitely drop the ball on this

I fw this channel.

Despite losing all that talent, UW has already won more games than last year and it's only half way into the season. Shows how bad Romar was (he coaches like it's 1990 and always plays 2 big men despite the spacing issues).

As someone who has lived in WA State all his life this was hard to watch.

I'm a huge mizzou fan you can't believe how happy I was when he said he was coming

michael porter went to mizzou because his dad is the assistant coach at mizzou now

This is the first time you use the trap sax

one of the last trap sax vids left

As good a recruiter Romar was, he was simply terrible as a coach. Losing 13 straight is unforgivable at any level.

Politics is in everything now days, but if i were a coach or athlete i wouldn't compromise my reputation for money,fame,power. When people do fake it to make it USUALLY when the truth comes out they hurt themselves as well as others too. Bad Bad Move by UW, somebody else got a favor by this coach losing his job. Thanks for the story you do work keep informing us i like it.

There was talk of Jontay reclassifying to 2017 too...Just look at Nathan Hale, scrub program last year then spent a good chunk of the season as the top HS program on national rankings. Firing should have happened next year if UW didn't at least make the tourney.

Usually when something like this happens it is because there was some sort of violation the coach was doing and the Organization wants to avoid.

You should do a video on Illinois basketball they had like the 8th best recruiting class until they fired there coach

Make a video about how even without the great recruites u dub is doing better at basketball under the new head coach than they have done in years. The firing of coach Romar was the best thing for Washington, we beat #9 Arizona and Kansas and many more great teams this season, no one expected this to happen. MAKE A VIDEO ON IT!!

i ain't know his lil brother is on his team as well that's dope

I would've given Romar one last chance. With such a stacked recruiting class, the program could've built off that and pull together a winning season, which then creates good enough momentum to rebuild the program for the near future. I saw MPJ play live, dude has the talent to completely turn a program around.

They also still have Jaylen Nowell, Michael Carter, and Nate Pryor coming in next season.

Subbed

im still crying 😭

I live in Seattle, the reason he got fired cause they have draft picks every year, but Romar hasn't made any tournament in 6 years. They got a great coach to replace him

Where did you find the program rankings list?

I get why he went to Missouri, but what about UCLA or Duke or Kentucky. Like think about LiAngelo Ball, Jaylen Hands, and Michael Porter

I'm excited for the top recruit to go to Missouri. I live in Missorui

I know Blake Harris he used to live in chapel hill we played at the community center all the time

1:18 is not daij. Daijon Davis has recieved LOI from Kansas and Washington but is pursuing music

As a UW student. It was a good idea to fire the Head Coach. It was either now or never. The 2-16 record was just too bad to overcome. Even with Fultz, the team looked terrible. I rather have a good team that can at least have a chance in the Playoffs over having the number 1 recruit in the country.

Mike Hopkins has brought in some solid recruits. Gonzaga will dominate basketball in the state of Washington in the foreseeable future but let’s forget how Robert Franks is carrying that Wazzu team on his back

I really like these type of videos when it isn't just a list of players with background music

They still have a awesome football program

My family lives in seattle and my dad hates that the cougs are doing bad because he is alwyas like we had bennet klay and today we are bad.

That Sax tho....

Romar was a fantastic recruiter but when it came down to x's and o's he was brutal which is why he was fired. If UW didn't pull the plug this year it was gonna be next year imo.

Romar needed to go. Point blank period.

what is the song in the background?

LETS GO MU i live in Missouri so thats a big deal

Do a video on mizzou basketball

Dude UW had Markelle Fultz went there and they were horrible they won 2 games in the conference and they had Markelle it wouldn't matter if they had Micheal Porter they would still be horrible

Also might've lost Kevin Knox because he was thinking of going wherever porter went and now he's most likely going to Missouri

The AD of UW probably knew something. If they would have gotten that recruiting class, combined with the great recruits the football team has recently got. There's a guarantee that the NCAA would start an investigation on the school.

He's going out in the middle of nowhere. But I really think Missouri could actually go far in March Madness with him

I heard about the coach being fired from my coach that played for Washington Joel smith

What happens when a team doesn't have enough players to play?

We had no choice Romars win pct was at a low and this coaching change will benefit years from now.

By far one of the worst decision UW could have made. Yes Coach Romar hasn't lived up to expectations these past few years to say the least but he's been able to get some great players to come. Now having this class come to the program might have given them that boost to get back to a top school in basketball. These guys dropped the ball on this one... Being from Seattle seeing this just sucked to watch it all fall...

This "unforgettable mistake" has made Washington top 25 in basketball and nationally relevant again...sorry but you hold the L on this one bro

Romar did turn the program around way back, but in the long run it's a good idea. Romar had the team running and playing like an AAU team, romar needed to go he wasn't coaching defense and just letting players go at it. Imagine this squad makes the NCAA tournament and uw makes the sweet 16, then they can't fire romar and have a few more years of mediocrity.

Yeah I’m from Missouri

literally why would even think this was a good idea, if anything wait till after this recruiting class leaves like damn how do you fuck this up

That background music is killing me. #GoCougs

We don't need micheal because romar has had great players in the past and still always lost, it was a good decision

Alabama almost made this mistake too with Anthony Grant..... But it all worked out in the end with Avery Johnson

Idk MPs brother was a junior! No wonder he doesn't get as much hype I think he's really good I thought was a senior too idk why

Get the AD out of there omg dude Washington has been repeatedly been a top 25 for awhile(not the very top but every year they break into the top 25 atleast once, and they play in a tough confrence) , and has consistently produced NBA talent

It doesn't matter... the only thing saving his career at UW after this past year would've been a great performance during the Tournament (make the final 4) and we all know it is VERY VERY hard to make the final 4 powered by just freshman

My cousin is going to Missouri but was going to Washington his name is Lucas Fox

You said tournament teams make a lot of money. UW hasn't been to the dance in 6 years. Romar recruits talent, but he's unable to do win with it. He might help players get ready for the NBA, but like you said, it's in UW's best interest to make the tournament, and the Romar was hasn't done that. In 15 years with him as the head coach, UW made the tournament 6 times.

When you're a UW fan watching Missouri take all your recruits.😭

someone send this to osn

"Ever seen?" Come on Man got to stop hyping these kids up

why does it matter, if they lost michael porter..he's probably going to the nba after his first year in college. it wouldn't have done the program well in the future. obviously it would be good to have the top recruit in the nation. but that would probably be like the season ben Simmons had in lsu . very frustrating and long.

Romar had to go. Losing record with a team led by marquese Chriss and dejounte Murray, and another team led by markelle, the no 1 player in the draft

my first introduction to seein dude play was dennis smith making him look absolutely dumb 1v1 two years ago, dude was scared to dribble, so all the hype surrounding dude is lowkey confusing to me, and everyones surprise about how good dennis smith is is confusing to me

It was a good move. Romar could recruit but not coach. They hasn't made the tournament since Isaiah Thomas was at UW. They needed a change

It's fucking weird whenever he say "UW" I kinda always mistake it for "U double U" which means UUU. ahhhhh nevermind my head hurts

What is the song?

JIMMY, Mizzou had a shit season last year about the same as UW. New Coach, Couzo Martin and MPJr, Jante Porter committed as well.

What’s he instrumental?

I feel bad for those guys in white jerseys

Just because they had a good recruiting class doesn't mean they will go to the elite 8 after a sub 10 win season, look at LSU with Ben Simmons and Antonio Blakney in C/O 2015

even Daejon davis left
