Nathan Hale has managed to go from a 3-18 basketball team last season to an undefeated one that is considered by many the best in the nation.
The “how” isn’t exactly a mystery. The formula goes: hire UW legend Brandon Roy as head coach, then add the top recruit in the country, Michael Porter Jr., and his four-star brother, Jontay, after their father is hired by Michael Jr.’s godfather, Lorenzo Romar. Michael signed his letter of intent to Romar and the Huskies in November.
The circumstances have been the source of plenty of chatter among Metro League and college basketball fans.
