    Agreed. I hate when things distract from football.

    I understand your poont. But I'd counter with:

    1. Seven never had a class ranked anywhere near the top 10

    2. Hoops recruiting rankings seem a lot more reliable to me - smaller classes, many more chances to scout basketball recruits than football (especially against other top flight kids and not just in their high school system) and highly rated kids spend less time on campus so there's less time for superior/inferior development to bring noise into the rankings.

    A top ten hoops class is almost always going to be a great thing for a basketball program.

    Obviously the Doog machine has his back and he won't get fired so we'll see how the off-season top ten pans out.

    My guess is they'll make a sweet 16 and go like 13-5 and the Doogs will start in with the "I told you sos"....after 4-5 lackluster years..

    I agree with everything you stated. My poont was that we couldn't make the ncaa's with 3 first round picks on the roster. Consider me in the camp of prove to me that you can do something with the talent, not just compile recruiting rankings.

    I forgot we had a basketball team. I'm hoping to forget we have a football team as well.

    Sometimes with the football team, when i'm really pissed or disappointed, I talk shit about how i don't care anymore and don't follow as closely as i used to, but i'm lying.

    With the basketball program, I legitimately have lost interest and have no Idea who is on the roster outside of Goss, Jerreaux, and Kemp. I don't care enough to look up the roster in another tab. The dawgpack is embarrassing the times i have seen us lose on tv, the inbounds plays are boys and girls club quality, and Calabro needs a viagra to get excited.

    Great, more 6'5" - 6'10" skinny "athletes" who would be great in a pick up game but have no fundamentals.

    Can't wait to see them run an effective half court offense in March.

    All I know is Murray is the real deal.

    There. Now it matches my thoughts.

    Sounds like you're saying Romar needs to recruit more lunch pail types. Like that Mike Jensen kid, Ryan Appletree, and Jon Gronkowski.

    Of course they won't run an effective half court set. I'll be thrilled if they have what it takes to play fast break all the time.

    Romar's defense and rebounding with guards who can push the pace on both ends = very good, fun to watch teams.

    Romar's high poast half court bullshit = DIAFF.

    ^ Agreed. That's what made me fall in love with UW hoops. That style of play and all of those (mostly local) kids who made it so damn fun to watch. Then Romar committed program suicide by going away with what had brought him success and turning us into a fucking stupid, slow, half court high post bullshit offense. He tried a high post with Aziz Ndaiye LMAO. Romar pretty much lost me forever at that point...and I was more doogish on him than a lot of people on here I think. I met the guy and unlike Ty he actually *is* a legitimately great person and has genuine love for UW. But fuck he can be frustratingly stupid sometimes.

    Romar is still the coach?
