    Everyone's expectations are way beyond what's realistic, IMO. Two true freshmen are not going to lead them to the Sweet 16 and beyond. UW is not Kentucky with 4 and 5 stars riding the bench.

    Yes but the PAC 12 is bad at sports so it's not like you have to be that good to contend for a conference title and pile up some wins. It's possible.

    It sucks that we have so much flexibility everywhere except for PG. Hardy isn’t that good, hopefully Green is, and Tshonis is a true frosh 3 star. Maybe Bey or Naz can handle it if it boils down to that. If either of them could play PG this team would be so much better.

    I think that’s going to force us into a very slow grind it out pace. We have the bigs to do that. And the depth to play aggressive around the hoop. Length in the zone will be a problem for opponents unless they catch fire from deep. Without Thybulle generating TOs constantly, could be a very slow year.

    Time for Hop to earn his paycheck as an offensive coach.

    Oregon turned their season around and made the sweet sixteen last year when they slowed shit down and ground opponents into dust. I think we can do that this year. Once the freshman and redshirt freshman get their reads down we could tighten the screws defensively and have just enough offense with Naz, Stewart, JMac and Bey to make a run to the second weekend of the NCAA's. The defense in the first half of the year won't be indicative of what this team should do in the second. If the Dwags get their shit together earlier than I think then this could be a pretty special year.

    Yeah there’s a good chance that the top end talent can carry us pretty far. I’m just concerned there is nobody to initiate the offense without Hop dialing up all sorts of plays. I haven’t really seen that from him yet.
