Confirmed Yates to Washington

We’ll see on Wilkerson.. Be a nice addition 
Wilkerson or Pierre would scratch the itch
West Coast kids don’t like moving east. That’s for sure.
Yates will be fondly remembered as this year's Great Osobor after Kentucky succeeds without him and Washington hangs another 4-16 in the Big 10...
Perfectly ok with this. I'll glady take Pierre or Wilkerson.
And the national championship doesn't like going west so are they really serious about helping win one?
Apparently they don't care for winning either. They enjoy short seasons, not bothering with those pesky tournaments.
Just wanted to see if I had missed any updates. Everything we are involved with at the moment Wilkerson/Pierre and then Garrison/Alvaro. Have we been linked with anyone else since the JQ announcement?
I don't blame them.... the weather is amazing. Although Washington while I like the area is a wee bit too rainy.
The connections with coach / west coast was just too much to overcome. But, in the Pierre / Wilkerson debate, give me Wilkerson, Pierre is very good, but is more of a one man ball handling show. Wilkerson is a true SHOOTING guard, Pierre is a scoring PG that commands the ball a LOT. Similar results.
Pierre 45% on 2FG's (9.9 per game taken) 42% on 3FG's (7.6 per game taken)
Wilkerson 51% on 2FG's (7.3 per game) 45% on 3FG's (7.7 per game taken)
Pierre 45% on 2FG's (9.9 per game taken) 42% on 3FG's (7.6 per game taken)
Wilkerson 51% on 2FG's (7.3 per game) 45% on 3FG's (7.7 per game taken)
That's fine, as Pierre and Wilkerson are still legitimate options. I had (1) Pierre, (2) Wilkerson and (3) Yates ranked in that order.
The only downfall with Pierre is that he's testing the NBA waters and could very well get a legit promise from an NBA squad and stay in the draft.
Really wanted Yates.
Wilkerson looks great too add him and we get a little closer to where we want to be.

Pretty much. That 61-58 loss at 1 am to Northwestern is a classic all 14 people on the West Coast will remember him for!

Beaumont, east of Houston near the Louisiana border. Quite a bit closer to Lexington than to mildewland.
So, he transferred from Washington originally right (the first time?) Went to USC and now back to Washington.
Maybe Pope felt he was a culture issue.

That makes me feel like Pope likes his roster and doesn't feel the need to reach
What an inexplicable decision by Yates.
Some of these kids just can't help but sabotage their own careers.
