What are your expectations for the season?

Now that football appears to have self-immolated, Big Dick Mike "who would have guessed my hire would be more successful than Pete" Hopkins wields the liberator's hammer to our hearts. With the returning talent we have + the superstar recruits in place, what are you realistically hoping for?

Win the Pac-12 + Sweet 16

i think we got 3 guys that legit will get drafted after next season two in top 15

Natty or GTFO

I would have put Final Four but I am worried that Hopkins will start Baccellia and Fuller over Stewart and McDaniels

I need to see Hopkins break the Sweet Sixteen Romar threshold to believe. What's the point of 1 and done talent if it doesn't get you deep in the tourney?

Expectations...

Is this what I think should happen or what I think will happen ?

Should; Win the Pac12 and go sweet 16

Will; 3rd in Pac12, win Pac tournament and get in, bounced in 32 on a bad draw.

In all seriousness, this team should run train on the conference. We have never had so much high end talent on the same roster. Even during the good Romar years we never had much depth, especially up front. This team had 2 top draft picks and a real coach.

Biggest/only question is PG.

I could see this team losing a few games in league this year and finishing second or third but still making the tourney where they hit their stride and make a run to the 16 or 8. I think we find out if Hop can blend existing guys who have put their time in and ultra elite freshman. If he can, this team has the horses they didn't have when they played NC last year in the second round. Should be fun. Then again I thought the football season would be fun as well and that was a kick in the nuts.

I think at some point we will be a lot better than we were last year. The potential of this team is pretty high.

I have no doubts that Stewart dominates from day one. I was less sure about McDaniels but Hopkins was gassing him up in a recent interview. If he’s actually bringing five star production, we’ll be really good.

McDaniels is legit.

Not super confident on winning the conference but we certainly could. I think they go S16 with a real shot at E8. I like Hop a lot but until he proves it in the tourney I'll always be a little skeptical.

I am a doog at heart.


But this team has enough talent and depth.


Really just hinges on how well Quade plays to get the guard play we’ll need in the tournament.

Isaiah Stewart, Jaden McDaniels, Quade Green, Naz Carter, Jamel Bey, Raequan Battle, Nate Roberts, Hameir, Tshonis/Hardy, and BPJ is pretty ridiculous. We have all the components to be an elite team.
