Here come the ripple effects of Washington’s decision to hire a new men’s basketball coach.
North Carolina point guard prospect Blake Harris, a 2017 signee, announced that UW granted him a release from his national letter of intent and he will re-open his recruitment.
Romar and the former UW staff believed Harris, considered a 3-star prospect by Scout.com but a 4-star, top-100 prospect by ESPN, was underrated. Romar said during last season that Harris would have been the best passer he ever coached.
After firing Romar on Wednesday, the Huskies on Sunday announced the hiring of new coach Mike Hopkins, a longtime Syracuse assistant.
