    Here's a Quarantine special Doog theory I'm going with.

    Roberts is dating one of Milloy's daughters. That's a championship family with championship work ethic. Roberts has incredible potential.

    With Lawyer barking at him, he will end up being good.

    Wonder who he is talking to here?



    I'm going to prematurely beat my chest and say Roberts emergence pushed Johnson out.

    Doog Milloy's daughter theory still has legs.

    Obviously losing Stewart is a killer but if we can get the transfers eligible and if Quade can get/stay eligible I don’t hate this team. We? have shooters now which we?ve not had in the shop era outside of Crisp and flashes from Battle.

    Quade
    Stevenson/Bajema
    Naz
    Wright/Brooks
    Roberts

    With Tsohonis, Bey, Battle, the other whitey, Wright/Brooks, Penn-Johnson off the bench.

    Really only Naz and Quade have spots locked up so lots of competition.

    It should be a better team than this year which isn’t saying much but is better than I was thinking in March.

    Jesus.

    This program is toast for at least 2 years.

    With the transfer additions I'm bullish on this roster. The Pac 12 still sucks right? We? have as much a shot of putting a decent/goodish team on the floor as 80% of the conference. UA, Oregon and probably UCLA are better than UW. Everyone else is a coin flip. Why not us?!?!?!?!? Seriously though, if we were in a real conference this team gets regularly ass blasted. Lucky us?

    Unlike football, finishing 4th doesn't guarantee you a mid level bowl birth (an at large high seed bid). As you learned first hand, you can even win the regular season, and if your conference is shitty enough, you still might not get in unless you win the conference tournament. Basketball more than any other sport relies heavily on conference strength for post-season play.

    We were never talking the tournament were we? I was thinking 18-12 or 19-11 would be a pretty good year. Not enough to get in the tournament with our? conference but pretty decent none the less.

    We’ll be better than I expected a few months ago, but that starting 5 is extremely underwhelming. Even with a couple shooters, unless Hop’s offense somehow doesn’t suck, we’re going to struggle to score.

    Hopkins saw your tepid optimism and decided to snuff it out now before it got rolling. Consider it a courtesy.

    UW hoops suck by default.

    You have to try to suck to suck as bad as uw does. Hop is in over his head and seems to have mailed it in at this point. Basketball is the easiest sport to be competitive at and we are not. Ridiculous.

    I honestly think hiring Brandon Roy would not be a bad move at this point if he's still trying to make a career out of coaching. He's an alpha dog and will be able to recruit. Two traits Hopkins severely lacks. Maybe they get lucky with him and you know he's your guy for a long time.

    Edit: Yes, I recognize this is a very doogish take.

    I've argued against it for a few years but at this point I wouldn't hate it.

    It's the Memphis/Penny Hardaway route. I'd rather we go get Gregg Marshall but we all know that's not going to happen. We seem to have given up on basketball.

    I guess I have too.
