    Hop’s zone is a mirage built on the greatest defensive player in program history. Tallest team ever can’t catch a rebound to save their lives.

    The offensive woes were blamed on Romar recruits, but it turns out the Romar guys have been just as good as Hop’s guys.

    3 McD’s AAs and we look like shit.

    This was a BAD UCLA team. At home.

    I don’t think it’s a mirage but Thubulle helped. I think the zone isn’t great because of youth. I love Stewart but we aren’t a one and done type program. We need to build. We didn’t get enough good 3-4 year players in Hop’s first few years recruiting.

    One and done isn’t the issue. No team in the country would say no to one year of Stewart, including us. Coaching and roster management are the problem. Hop should have worked harder to keep Davis from bouncing to Stanford. This team could use a top tier PG to run the show that’s actually played and can provide senior leadership. Take away the one and done players are we are even worse off. It’s not like we turned down some other super great 4 year college player to take McDaniels.

    We would be terrible without them, especially Stewart. A tourney appearance and a win would appease most the fan base. We would have no shot at doing that without Stewart and McDaniels.

    That said, one and dones hinder the growth of guys like Roberts and Bey that ideally would be around for four years. Guys get better by playing and being relied upon. If we don’t at least make the tournament and win a game or two, having Stewart and McDaniels was pointless and makes us no better off for having them, and probably even hurts a little bit.

    Bey is getting minutes. And Timmins is taking Robert’s minutes.

    I’m not convinced Hop is developing anyone for shit.

    Name a guy who’s gotten way better?

    Timmins is slightly less of a shit show. I can’t name another...

    disagree. Timmins has badly regressed from last year.
