Top three for Sallie
Since committing to Washington almost two years ago, Sacramento, Calif., native Roburt Sallie may have been hiding under the radar. Now that the three-star shooting guard has reopened his recruitment, the 6-foot-5, 190-pound prospect is finally starting to get the attention he has earned.
According to Sallie's coach Chris Chaney, the West Coast native has been busy since reopening his recruitment.

Sallie recently took an official visit to Nebraska last week for the Huskers' game against Kansas. Earlier in the year, Sallie took an unofficial visit to Wake Forest.
The two schools as well as Maryland, Washington and Memphis are all actively involved. Wake, Nebraska and Maryland have separated themselves from the pack, according to Chaney.
"I would say they are his top three," he said.
There is good reason why the high-majors are making Sallie a top priority this late in the game.
"Sallie brings that IQ to the table. He knows how to play," Chaney said. "He does a little bit of everything. Sallie is an all-around player and not a one dimensional guy. I really think he's one of the best all-around guards in the country because of what he brings to the table."
Chaney said Sallie is averaging 13 points, seven assists and four rebounds a game this season and "basically qualified."
After going through the recruiting process once before, Chaney knows Sallie will be asking all of the right questions along the way.
"He's more mature than most of our guys when it comes to this because he's been through it before," Chaney said. "He is just trying to find the best fit for him now. Where can he fit the best and what style of play do they have? He'll be trying to answer all of those questions that you have to ask."
