Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Anyone want to try and explain wtf Hopkins is doing?

Pryor and Carter III signed today...to financial aid agreements, binding the school to them but not them to the school.
What possible reason would Hopkins have to give them FAAs rather than LOIs? These are USF and Seattle U recruits, they should be thrilled that UW condescended to them. Why would you commit to them without them committing to you?
This is a real head scratcher.
In slightly happier news, the signing period is here and it doesn't appear Nowell has asked to be released yet. He still could (the signing period lasts for like a month), but it seems if he wanted to be released he would have asked for it before signing day so he could have as many openings as possible. Pretty optimistic he's staying on bored. He might be our? best player next year.

Pretty easy. When they get run off the court in the pac12, they will fit in nicely under @Tequilla IMA squad.

What's absolutely scary is that the only possible thought here is that both are holding out hope for a better offer in the next month or two from another program and don't want to be bound to UW. Hops is so desperate for guys he's willing to take people without the NLI just to get bodies on the floor that "may" be useful. Really, that's all I can come up with.dnc said:

Hops shouldn't be taking guys who can't commit to a program 2-3 steps up from their previous scholarship offer. -
That was my thought too. Nothing else makes sense.FreeChavez said:

I can't imagine such an offer awaits either of them, but damn. -
To be fair to the kids, if it was offered I'd take it too. If Gonzaga or a good WCC/MWC school came calling it may be a better offer then the rebuilding project happening at UW the next couple years. Obviously that's not likely, but if Hops offered why would you limit your options?dnc said:

Hello Clarice

Supposedly (according to someone on dongman) you can only ever sign one LOI, so that would explain Pryor not signing one. I'm not sure why Carter wouldn't sign one though.

Small timey hire does extremely small timey things. Jesus.
