    In an ideal transition you would be able to keep your high end commits and then build up from there. I don't know how often this happens during coaching changes but I would guess most of the time the parties part ways. That's seems like the most logical scenario given the relationships that have been built so getting upset about kids who are still in high school at this junction makes little sense to me.

    I think deeming Hop a failure for not keeping two guys who 1) he has known for less than a week and 2) held a clear allegiance to Romar NOT the University of Washington is alarmist. UW is not a college basketball brand. Romar was the brand.

    This is about a culture change. A rebranding of Washington basketball. It's about more than Davis and Nowell. The bandaid needed to pulled off and if that means missing out on a few guys that haven't even played a minute in college so be it. Honestly these kids who worship Romar don't fit the new mold for Mike Hopkins program and news flash: the world of basketball existes outside of Seattle.

    He's not a failure, but not keeping any of that talent is a failure. Stop trying to spin that as anything but. It won't determine his success here, but it will delay it.

    Petersen got Baker to stay home. And he managed to make it work with players that had been coached by Sark the retard. Not every guy that plays for a bad coach is a cancer that can't adapt and be successful under the new system.

    At this rate, Hopkins will be holding open tryouts at the IMA so he has enough guys to run a scrimmage. Maybe that's why he hired Dollar and Conroy to his staff.
    This I agree with 100%.

    I still think in the end he keeps at least one of the Garfield kids. If he doesn't, or doesn't get someone equivalent talent, that's certainly discouraging.

    Hopkins will still win more conference games with whatever pile of scraps he comes up with than what ever the fuck Romars sorry ass would have done with his elite class.

    Next year's team could be as bad of a PAC12 team as ever seen ... we are talking 80's early 90's Oregon St football bad
    2016-2017 Oregon State basketball bad? I think they won 5 games total.

    Depending on the roster and what remains very possible.

    2017 prospect Mamoudou Diarra, 6-9 forward from Mali, asks @UW_MBB for release and re-opens commitment, per AAU coach.
