    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.

    I watched the Gonzaga / Kansas game on Thanksgiving and actually found myself enjoying it.

    Brandon Roy was one of my favorite players ever but shows no signs of being a good basketball coach. No fault of his own but he was influenced by Romar and Nate McMillan. Two of the most unimaginative offensive minds I have seen in the game. Their basketball X’s and O’s Just plain suck.

    All that being said it couldn’t be worse than hop so whatever. Do whatever the fuck you want. That’s where I am with hoops right now. It’s full blown aids and needs to be burnt down and cleansed before it can grow.

    I am confident there are plenty of prep schools that can put up more than 42 vs uc riverside. I know we give shit to hop but ffs the players need to have some pride as well. They all should be ashamed.
