    Hop doesn’t make this offer without strategizing with Jimmy about it first. This is a joint effort

    He’s good enough to play D-1 hoops. What the hell was Hop waiting for???

    I like this, although I expect the bb offers from tOSU, SC, and Oregon will roll in soon

    Being FIRST in both sports has to help.

    He's coming here.
    Yeah, it's a smart move that a school that's serious about recruiting would make (hopefully this is a sign that Jimmy will start to get more serious about it as HC). The basketball scholarship offer is meaningless since he's playing football but it's good to stroke the kid's ego.
    I view it in one of two ways:

    1) It’s a desperation play because we are getting blown out by Ohio and know if it’s football vs football we are in a bad spot

    2) It’s a differentiator because Hop is committing to JTT that he has the ability to be a contributor to UW hoops and this isn’t a lip service offer ... also the ability for both JTT and Paolo to play together may hold some value in both recruitments

    I worry that this is it. Like the guy at the bar offering to buy a girl all her drinks for the night even if she doesn't talk to him. She's still going home with Bruce Wayne.

    I don’t think this is remotely true, he’s basically said he wants to take his visits and will likely sign in February. I don’t think anyone is in that big of a lead.

    Meh. With nothing more than my inherent rightness to draw upon, I see it more as escalation than desperation.
