    Fuck being a one and done program, that shit is for doogs and Kentucky.

    This. UW, like most programs, isn't built for one and done success.

    Even a school like Kansas mostly has 3 and 4 year guys sprinkled in with an occasional one and done. Syracuse has a similar model. North Carolina doesn't really do one and dones either.

    Kentucky and Duke are the only schools that have done really well with one and dones.

    Myself, Pepperidge Farm, and Race all remember whem nobody left Duke early under Coach K. Elton Brand was the first (after soph year) and it was a huge deal in '99.

    Dude will have pocketed $1 Million in two years of doing essentially nothing. By then MPJ will have his first round money and they won't give a shit.

    I love what he said in the presser "it's about getting talent, KEEPING talent, and developing talent". No more one and dones finally.

    Dealing with the Porters might not be a game Hopkins and Cohen are willing to play.

    Hopkins has to create his culture next season, and it is likely easier to do that without Porter.

    Hopkins has to create his culture next season, and it is likely easier to do that without Porter.

    I believe the real reason Porter was the last one Hopkins called is that he wanted to lock in the other guys as 'special' - the turnaround guys for the hometown school. He closed them first (kind of the low hanging fruit approach). He got their commitment and sold them on him - probably said something like "look - you're going to be around for 2, 3, maybe 4 years - don't base your decision on a guy whose only going to be here 1. If he comes, great...if not, what school is the best fit? And if you answer is here, then you should be here *irregardless of what MPJ does".

    If Porter's nose got bent out of shape being the last one called 1) he's not OKG and 2) even if he was consisdering staying, the new sheriff is in town and there's no favorites. Dude has coached Carmello and Lebron and Durrant - HDNGAF about Nathan Hale's greatest home schooler.
