    There was a lot of WDWHA in the Dickerson thread, but him staying might keep us from being 100% complete shit next season. Good sign that Hopkins was able to change his mind (assuming the rumor wasn't bullshit).

    They all might be players under a decent fundamentals first coach. Hard to crucify any of those players under Romar. LIPO, they will be juniors next year playing for a coach how teaches, no rolls the ball out
    That's the thing. If Hopkins is a great "coach" (Romar was a very poor "coach"), things could get in stride very quickly. His roster will, in part, likely consist of the following:
    Thybulle - Jr
    Dickerson - Jr
    Green - Jr
    Crisp - Jr
    Timmons - Soph.

    All those guyd suvked last year but they were all rated as 4 star kids out of high school by at least some of the TBS sites. That's not to say they were all deserving of it, but we do know that the coaching they have received has been absolute dog shit. Two things will determine if this thing gets back on track

    1- Is Hopkins actually a good coach and developer of talent?

    2- Did 2 years under Romar make these kids broken as basketball players?
    I still think Williams Goss proved with good coaching, this talent can make a leap in productivity.
    Williams Goss was good at UW. I don't think he improved any significantly greater amount at GU than I would have expected him to in two more years at UW. Romar could develop guards fine if he could get them to stick around.

    Hop looks like a nerd patrol commander. I give him 5 years. Expect Mike Stoops type, ref-lobbying, court-side breakdowns every other game.

    You hated the Peterman hire, too, correct?

    I love it so far. Dont' say that you're here to take over though, and then put up a Romar-like season. You better fucking be competitive if not really good by day 1 or you look like a faggot for saying this shit.
