Fresh off two first-round picks in last weeks NBA draft, Lorenzo Romar is building up Washington once again.Top-50 prospect Jaylen Nowell committed to the Huskies on Wednesday.You cant ignore the success of their players that theyve been sending to the league, Nowell told ESPN. The team is going to be very good by the time I get there, and most importantly, this is my town. I have to put on for my city.Nowell, a 6-foot-5 shooting guard from Garfield High School (Washington), is ranked No. 45 in the ESPN 100. California and Oregon were among the other schools pursuing Nowell.Despite the talent going through the Washington program, the Huskies havent been to the NCAA tournament since 2011. But after Marquese Chriss and Dejounte Murray were drafted last week and last falls signing of elite guard Markelle Fultz, Nowell feels good about the direction of the program.?If I didnt have any confidence in them at all, I would still have all the confidence in the world now, he said. I trust the coaching staff at Washington and I wouldnt feel right anywhere else.Washington doesnt have any other commits in the 2017 class -- as four-star guard Daejon Davis (No. 39) decommitted in April after originally pledging to the Huskies last August.In an interesting twist, Nowell and Davis are teammates in the Seattle Rotary AAU program.Ive always been the dude to let them make their own decision, Nowell said. If he wants to come here, thatll be great. But if he feels that there is a better place for him, I will be happy for him.?Nowell averaged 20.2 points during the spring Nike EYBL circuit, including 29.3 points in his final three games in May.?I feel like I can make a huge impact on both ends of the floor, Nowell said. I feel that I am an all-around player and that I can do whatever they need me to do in order to win.?Expect Washington to continue pursuing the five-star tandem of Michael Porter Jr. and Trae Young, who play together with MoKan Elite on the AAU circuit. Romar hired Porters father last month as an assistant coach.China Jerseys . Hargreaves began his career in 2008 with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and has played with the Edmonton Eskimos and last season with the Saskatchewan Roughriders. MLB Jerseys . It is a cliché dragged out by fans and pundits regularly when discussions take place around which teams are better than others. https://www.cheapjerseysjustwholesale.com/ . -- Arizona raced out to a big lead and did not back off, hitting the accelerator instead.

Wholesale Jerseys . Toronto has dropped games to Indiana and Miami since a five-game winning streak and closed out a three-game road trip at 1-2.SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Tim Tebows statistics are modest. But the former NFL quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner believes he is making progress with a week remaining in his Arizona Fall League stint.Tebow enters Wednesdays game with the Scottsdale Scorpions hitting .156 (7-for-45) with one double, two RBIs, four walks and 13 strikeouts in 13 AFL games. His batting average ranks 70th of 73 qualifiers in the league.I feel like every day I get a little more comfortable in the field, at the plate, just going through the routine of baseball, said the 29-year-old Tebow, who launched a professional baseball bid in September with the New York Mets after not playing the sport since his junior year of high school. I think my body is getting more comfortable with that -- the everyday routine of it, the little soreness of it, the recoveries. All of those little things.Tebow has been slowed by a cranky right knee, which he originally injured on Oct. 31 on an awkward slide into second base. He returned to the lineup three days later as the designated hitter, then departed for his weekend gig as a college-football commentator. Tebow resumed playing left field on Monday.Its getting better every day, Tebow said. Im feeling better, getting faster.One benefit of Tebow playing in the AFL is that Mets hitting coach Kevin Long lives in the Phoenix area and can provide regular tutelage. Tebow makes daily visits to Long in the mornings before reporting for AFL duty. The ex-quarterback confessed the extra workload has taken a toll on his hands.Lets put it this way: Theres been a lot of bandages on my hands for the last couple of months, Tebow said. Thats for sure.Tebow also has spent this week working at Scottsdale Stadium with Reggie Jackson, a Yankees instructor. They mostly have discussed hitting approach. Mets and Yankees prospects both play for the Scorpions.Hes got a month named after him, Tebow said about Jackson, also known as Mr. October. So its pretty cool.It has been an eventful AFL season for Tebow aside from his on-field play. The opening week, a man suffered a seizure in the stands after a game while seeking an autograph. Tebow stayed with the man -- a Georgia football fan -- until paramedics arrived. Tebow has stayed in touch with the man.Hes doing well, Tebow said. There might have been a little trash talk with the Florida-Georgia thing. But hes doing good.There have beeen light moments, too.ddddddddddddOn Halloween, Scottsdale teammate Aaron Brown -- a Phillies prospect -- dressed as Tebow, including wearing?Denver Broncos?garb.I thought it was really funny, Tebow said. Hes a trip. There were some good costumes. I liked his -- except when he came out and was throwing some different routes to [fellow Phillies prospect Mitch] Walding. There were too many incompletions out there.Mets general manager Sandy Alderson acknowledged Tebows assignment to the AFL is aggressive, given he just resumed playing the sport two months ago. But Alderson noted that the Mets wanted to have Tebow continue to develop by playing games after participating in the instructional league.Assigning Tebow to the AFL, which has a development mission, made more sense for Tebow than a Latin American winter league, where the priority is winning, according to Alderson. Tebow also needed a location that allowed for easy travel to his college-football broadcasting duties with ESPN each weekend. Having Long in the area and Mets coach Tom Goodwin managing Scottsdale made it sensible, too.Look, there was a downside in the fact that everything gets graded in the Fall League, Alderson said. The upside is he needs game competition in order to develop those kind of baseball instincts and peripheral skills that are so important. We actually thought he could hold his own in the batters box. And I think hes largely done that. His strikeout rate is not horrendous. Hes making decent contact and hes getting better.If you go to the Dominican Republic or Venezuela, those arent exactly development leagues. Those are competition leagues. So, all in all, this was the best spot for him.Goodwin said Tebows bat speed has been his biggest improvement through 13 games played in the AFL. His fielding instincts have improved, too, since he face-planted into the outfield wall during the opening week.The bat is coming through the zone, Goodwin said. I think hes recognizing pitches now better than he was then. Hes been facing some tough lefties, too. ... Hes done well. In the outfield hes moving around a lot better on his own. Hes kind of reading swings out there, which is going to have to happen. Once we get his knee right I think well see the speed out there. ' ' '
