I spoke to Abdul Gaddy Sr. earlier today and asked him why his point guard son, Abdul Jr. of Bellarmine Prep of Tacoma (Wash.), was thinking about Washington. After all, before Abdul Jr. re-committed to Arizona a few weeks ago (he de-committed again over the weekend), his final two choices were Arizona and UCLA.
“How (Washington) got back involved was after the Arizona situation, I think he thought, ‘You know what, maybe this is a sign I should stay close to home,’ ” Abdul Sr. said. “The University of Washington always stayed in contact with him.”
Abdul Sr. said a decision could come in the next week, or in the next month, but he believed his son wanted to sign in November.
