The Huskies Need To Be More Of A Slut

The mass exodus of basketball talent from the Northwest to the state of Kentucky has gone from puzzling to troubling to embarrassing. What started with Slick Rick Pitino cherrypicking Terrence Williams and Peyton Siva from the 206 has evolved to slime bucket John Calipari stealing the Turkish Delight Enes Kanter and Oregon's finest Terrance Jones. This has got to stop. By all accounts coach Lorenzo Romar is a class guy that exudes high moral character and integrity. He's the kind of guy you'd want to send your son to play for and teach him the fundamentals of basketball, life, and lessons that will make him a better man. Unfortunately that approach is losing the UW top recruits and as Andre 3000 so eloquently put it, turning and walking away just aint gonna work when they be robbing. The time has come for the UW to channel its inner Jenna Jameson. Tell the kids what they want to hear and let them know the school will do whatever it takes to keep them and do it well. The alternative is constantly losing on talent that has no interest in becoming a better person, only in becoming a better basketball player. The UW lost a recruit at a press conference with his entire family present wearing Husky colors! How is that possible? What could Calipari possibly have said to change his mind? High school kids nowadays are no more than Vegas flings and Whistler weekends. They'll be gone before morning trust me. The game has changed. Stay competitive Huskies!
