As news of Washington’s firing of Lorenzo Romar trickled out Wednesday afternoon, players and recruits responded in support of the longtime coach.
Included among them were consensus top recruit Michael Porter Jr., and his brother Jontay. The two Nathan Hale High School stars had committed to play at UW for Michael Porter Jr.’s godfather, Romar, and their father, an assistant coach for the team.
The brothers, winners of the 3A state boys basketball title at the Tacoma Dome two weeks ago, were both wistful in their remarks on Twitter.
Loved this coaching staff and couldn't wait to start something special next year.
