Everyone should know about Tony Wroten Jr. by now. He is one of the top guards in the nation and he has Kentucky and Washington as his top two choices. I think I have heard this before, haven’t you? Well, Seatownsports.net blogged about Wroten recently and discussed his choice between Washington and “east coast colleges” trying to recruit him.

Wroten currently has seven offers on the table: Conneticut, Kansas, Kentucky, Syracuse, Tennessee, Villanova, Georgia Tech, Lousiville, Memphis, UNLV, and UW. A recent report has him saying that Kentucky and UW are his [URL=”http://www.seatownsports.net/huskies/articles/tony-wrotens-finalists-kentucky-and-uw.html”]finalists[/URL]. A couple of [URL=”http://www.nationofblue.com/gilchrist-teague-recruit-tony-wroten-jr-1530/”]his buddies[/URL] are making an effort to ensure that Wroten commits to Kentucky.
Washington has a lot going for them though. Along with being the hometown team, Brandon Roy and several other Garfield graduates have had great experiences playing at UW under Coach Romar. Along with that, Wroten’s own dad played football at UW as tight end. And don’t forget about Nate Robinson who is Wroten’s cousin.
Without a doubt, UW has a lot of connections to Wroten. Will this be enough to trump the national stage that a lot of east coast schools are offering him? That is the main question that will be answered once Wroten makes his decision.

I would be really surprised if Wroten spurns Kentucky if indeed Kentucky wants him as bad as some people say. The ties with his USA basketball teammates, Gilchrist and Teague, recruiting him on a daily basis in Germany has to have an effect on his decision. As I have said before, this could be deja blue for Washington all over again.
