    There was a sweep in the desert - wonder if it will change things

    He thought a sweep in the desert (for UW) was even a possibility?

    I played Sports Story on Switch instead of watching this game.

    Sports Story is a joke after 5 years of development and still filled with countless bugs due to mismanagement.

    Still better than what Hopkins has done with 5 years of fucking boating to work drinking fancy coffee at the University of Washington.

    It is your most persuasive point in this discussion rather easily.

    A tradition of excellence!

    I want to believe that the Seattle pipeline is worth it but when you step back and look at it, its a bunch of point and shooting guards with a few quality bigs sprinkled in here and there. Then keeping the bigs has been a struggle, or they don't really pan out, and if they do pan out they are one and done. If the area was producing big after big I'd say it would be more desirable. Seattle basketball culture is great, but being honest about what it produces, you temper your expectations.

    Since Romar became head coach, the only local players (that I can think of) that stayed at UW and were drafted, that were above the average NBA height of 6'6 are Jon Brockman, Jaden McDaniels and Spencer Hawes.

    If only coaches were allowed to recruit outside of their owen metro area.

    Having the Seattle guard/wing pipeline is at least 2/3 of a great program. A decent coach should be able to recruit and/or develop the other 1/3
    Oh I know, but I'm taking a realistic look at the situation locally. I also don't have a lot of faith in the AD to do an extensive search, or as others have pointed out, find the guy who will come in and make UW competitive almost every year.

    Long ago and far away James Edwards played for UW and Jawan Oldham went to Seattle U. Bigs that had NBA careeers. UW couldn't get the Cleveland High guys to go to UW to play with Edwards

    Since that time it has been smalls and we? always let enough get away to not have a juggernaut

    Edwards accepted a basketball scholarship from the hometown University of Washington, to play under coach Marv Harshman. As a freshman, he took over the starting duties at center, averaging 6.8 points and 4.6 rebounds per contest. As a sophomore, he registered 12.3 points and 7.5 rebounds per game.

    As a junior in the 1975–76 1974-1975 season, he averaged 17.6 points (led the team) and 7.1 rebounds (second on the team) per game. He also contributed to the team having a 22–6 record, qualifying for the school's first NCAA basketball tournament appearance since 1953 and finishing the regular season ranked No. 11. This was also the last team to defeat (103–81) a John Wooden squad, as the legendary coach would retire after the season, having won his 10th National Championship.

    As a senior in the 1976–1977 season, he led the team with 20.9 points and 10.4 rebounds, but the squad failed to qualify for the NCAA basketball tournament with a 17–10 overall record. He received All-American honors. He finished his college career with an average of 14.6 points and 7.5 rebounds per game.[1]

    In 1990, he was inducted into the University of Washington Husky Hall of Fame. In 2015, he was inducted into the State of Washington Sports Hall of Fame.[2]

    Best Husky team ever IMO

    And it was 74-75 because Wooden retired after winning the 75 tourney. NC State won in 74 and Bobby Knight was perfect in 76 coaching the motherless whore


    I used to THINK and CARE about college basketball
    I'm very familiar with Mr. Edwards. Anyone who leads #myteds to a state title is an instant legend. People forget he was a starter on those bad boys teams in Detroit.

    I thought UW got Richard Woods and Oldham/Ervin went to Seattle U?

    People forget Cleveland only beat Steve Madsen (UW) and Lincoln by 1 point to win their 2nd state title.

    Well, Cal choked this away and so Kim and Hop got the magical Bay area sweep they needed.

    I believe we're 10-8 or something now. Unfortunately, if they win just enough gaymes (15-18) Hopkins keeps his job.

    The stands were empty today except for the Dawg pack, and they probably bribed them with donuts or something. Some of it was the Seahawks, but I get the impression that noone cares. I still don't know how he won the PAC 12 four years ago. Even this Doog I know knows it's a joke at this point. As usual, the trans softball team is probably a bigger priority.
