Romar can't coach. Hop can. There's no parallel reason to temper expectations based on past failure. Let @backthepack doog.HillsboroDuck said:

That doesn't really refute anything. Oregon State finished 85th in the NET. If that was a one-man Tinkle show (new board motto?) then Tinkle is really fucking good for carrying his team to a top 100 ranking. If that wasn't a one-man Tinkle show then he's really fucking good for putting up those numbers despite not being the sole provider of offense.backthepack said:

Lol because Tinkle is the only good option on OSU. Doesn’t mean that Jaden and Isaiah aren’t better options. Isaiah is going to get like 18 11 and 2.HillsboroDuck said:

We're talking about a coach who has one exactly one tournament game and a program that hasn't been past the sweet 16 since 19 fucking 53.
We won't be top 10 preseason. Getting to the E8 would be a huge huge step.
There's been nothing but big dick energy from Hopkins so far, he'll need to keep it going.
We’re not talking Zion and Barrett.
You're talking about a highly productive fifth year senior versus two true freshman.
You're nuts if you take the freshmen.
Anyways, we already know the answer is the latter because the Thompson brothers are good too. And Tinkle is poised to be the best player in the conference next year. I don't know why you're fighting that so hard.
I get it, I remember my first multi five star class, I was mostly the same way.
He's inevitably going to be disappointed. Just part of it I guess.

I think he can probably coach too, but he hasn't exactly proven himself as more than a recruiter yet. -
I think we win the P12. I just don't think Jaden is going to be Kevin Durant.backthepack said:QUADE GREEN CAN FUCKING PLAY YOU FUCKTARDS HE’S FUCKING GOOD. HE JUST WASN’T A GOOD FIT AT KENTUCKY WHICH ISN’T AN ISSUE FOR US. KID CAN FUCKING SHOOT, HANDLE, AND DISTRBUTE. WE ARE GOING TO RUN A TRAIN ON THE P-12 AND YOU’RE A FAG IF YOU DON’T EXPECT THAT.

I didn’t say he was. I said he’d be somewhere in between KD and Jonathan isaacDoogles said:

Might as well not even play the games to win the pac-12

I also think Quade is going to surprise. He was highly rated, almost went to Hop out of high school, then went to prep school at Kentucky. He has a bond with Hopkins and think that's one of Hop's strengths. He relates well with the kids, and is a good motivator because he's highly motivated himself. Green will do well under Hopkins and with Hardy will make a good pair of PG's to spread the ball around. The offense will be better because of it, the defense will depend on how quickly the freshmen can learn & feel the zone, and beyond that it just will be fun to watch. The team may start kind of slow with Quade not being available until 2020 and with the team needing to learn how best to play together. The end of next season will be the most interesting I hope. Play well enough during the season to make the NCAA's, then hope the team becomes dominant during tournament time. Green is one of the guys that can make it happen...backthepack said:QUADE GREEN CAN FUCKING PLAY YOU FUCKTARDS HE’S FUCKING GOOD. HE JUST WASN’T A GOOD FIT AT KENTUCKY WHICH ISN’T AN ISSUE FOR US.

I am still traumatized from Abdul Gaddy so I have an irrational fear about Quade.

He can shoot the 3, and did so at Kentucky. That, in and of itself, is enough value.2001400ex said:I am still traumatized from Abdul Gaddy so I have an irrational fear about Quade.
Also, Stewart will average 17 and 11. He'll get three easy buckets a game just off of his energy and motor, and should get to the free throw line regularly. -
Agree with this, though I’m interested to see how he rebounds out of Hop’s zone. In a man scheme I definitely think he’d pull 11 per, not sure in this one.BleachedAnusDawg said:

If you think that the success Boeheim had over the 20 years prior to Hopkins becoming the UW head coach wasn't partly attributable to Hop, I'd beg to differ. He has a lot of experience that gets overlooked. With Boeheim, he went to the NCAA 15 times I think, and 3 championship games. Hopkins ran practices for many successful teams for Boeheim and think he's under-rated overall but with lots of promise. Boeheim's only championship was led by 2 freshmen...HillsboroDuck said:
