Coach Romar on Bobby Jones With the way we have played he has probably played out of position. He s done a remarkable job and proved to be a matchup problem for opponents because of his speed and quickness. I think he s one of the best defensive players in the country. He s very, very versatile. You can t leave Bobby Jones on the bench very long. He needs to find a way to avoid foul trouble because it hurts us when he is not in the game. He is the model of the type of player that we want here at the University of Washington in terms of his unselfish team attitude, mental toughness and his academic standing. 46

It also helps that he is highly competitive. As infectious as he is, he should help us this year as we try to duplicate and do a little better than we did last year. It s very difficult to match his competitive spirit. We can talk about his 43 inch vertical. We can talk about his ability to score with 31 on Arizona and 27 against UAB in the tournament. But his competitive spirit and the drive to win is something that you just don t run across very often. It s remarkable. I ve never seen anyone his height on any level impact a game on both ends like he does. 50

It s rare, especially in today s game, to have a player that good play so unselfishly. When one of your best players is your most unselfish, that carries over. By the end of last year, the team was very unselfish in its play. Brandon has a chance to be as good an offensive player as there is in this league. 54

Coach Romar on Tre Simmons He can score in bunches as well as anyone on our team. He s going to play a significant role on our team this year. You think of the Stanford game here where he helped blow it open. I can name you a half dozen games where his shooting alone either brought us back or broke the game open. He joined us two weeks into the school year and he wasn t in the greatest condition. He had to do a ton of school work in the first quarter to be eligible. He had some family issues and couldn t practice for a week with the flu. That affected him getting off to a slow start. What we will see this year is a more consistent Tre Simmons playing at a high level from day one. He can definitely create his own shot. Derek Whittenberg once told me that, there are shooters and there are makers. Tre is a maker.
