This is a puff piece, but it's still a reason to be bullish on Hopkins. Guys are going to work. Setting the culture is much more important than this year's recruiting class.
Building substance in the program is the most important attribute for 2017-2018 ... having a 2018 recruiting class that mirrors what we're trying to do on the court is very important.
I did have a good laugh at the idea of Green being a much improved player ... he's brutal.
Green could shoot 35% from the field, play merely bad on defense, and be one of the most improved players in the country.

He was historically bad last year.
I was taking much improved to mean being an above average P12 player ... just don't see it happening. If he is, that's a lot of reason to have faith in Hop

Reading through the douch-y "Frank Sinatra has a cold" writing it's obvious that Hopkins has a lot of energy, and it's encouraging that he talked about meeting with Peterman. What it didn't say was that he's watching film or working with the coaches on strategy. Lots of energy, but are there any brains?

I'm sure he watches some film on the current players and recruits, but for the most part, there probably isn't much of a need for that right now.
There is plenty of time for scouting and strategy.

This is essentially the same as spring football. It's fundamentals. That SI article mentioned Dollar working on defensive principles. That's what this team fucking needs. Get down to basics. You need to break these kids down and build them back up. I'm not worried about the strategy part. That will come in the summer. I love that he's out hustling, recruiting, working out with the team, flying to Vegas to visit recruits, he's grinding. It's clear to me that work ethic was a big issue with Romar and it seems like Hop is setting the foundation for the culture at Washington. Getting Nowell to stay fucking huge too.
