If Hop stays, couple big men in the transfer portal they could look at.
Robinson is a former 4-star recruit (86 overall by ESPN) from Gilbert, Arizona. After reclassifying to join Ole Miss a year early, he redshirted and only got into 6 games as a redshirt freshman. From the look of things, he's a heck of an athlete and plus shot blocker. He's far and away the tallest PF/C in the transfer portal and would be a welcome sight for the zone. Not sure what he's got for skills on the block, but he seems like a skilled enough athlete to display some aptitude there. Seems as though he hit the weight room at Ole Miss because he was pretty slight in high school... seeing as a he's a West Coast kid, I'm hopeful the Dawgs have been in contact.

Averaged 10 and 5 for Depaul as a junior. One of the lone kids on the transfer list who shows some ability to play on the block. High field-goal % guy, nearly 60% which was good for 3rd in the Big East. Bruiser who could help add some toughness and muscle inside for the Dawgs.

What makes you think big guys would come to Hop for development?
These guys want PT and a chance to go to the next level.
If you're a big, the first place you're going is Gonzaga.
Hell, not even sure UW would be third in the State of Washington after watching the two bigs at WSU develop this year.

I mean that’s fine... except Hop just landed a 6’9 McDonalds All American PF in Jackson Grant...PurpleThrobber said:What makes you think big guys would come to Hop for development?

So I’m not really sure recruits buy your narrative... and It’s not like I’m presenting these transfers as NBA-level ability talent... they’re solid, not special, but better than what we have. -
Jackson Grant? The one signee out of 31 offers over two cycles? That Jackson Grant? Yes, that really proves that recruit(s) are buying what Hop is selling.BroadcastingDawg said:

No verbals for next year either yet btw. -
No... the narrative that big men are going to Gonzaga first and then are considering WSU before UW.FremontTroll said:

They graduated only Green and Wright this year which leaves a spot for Grant and a transfer.
Only 2 teams in the PAC 12 have commits for 2022.
The Dawgs will graduate Bey, Stevenson, Pryor, Brooks next year leaving 4 spots open for 2022. Expect a larger signing class next year.

Gonzaga is one of the finalists for the Gatorade National Player of the Year in 7'1" Chet Holgren.
You realize why Gonzaga might be a little higher interest for bigs than UW?
And Jackson and Abogidi are so far ahead of Grant, it's not even close.

I didn't say they weren't higher interest.PurpleThrobber said:

But getting a McDonald's All American Power Forward is a far cry from whatever the hell it is you're saying.
And Chet Holmgren has a ton of talent, but he's also a twig. I'll be surprised if he gets much playing time w. the Bulldogs until he puts on a good 30 lbs. -

Just cause you're the no. 1 recruit doesn't mean you don't need serious development. Chet's body needs serious work.
Nerlens Noel and Skal Labissiere say hello. -
About the only thing we have to offer right now is playing time.
Unfortunately there are other more high profile programs that can offer this as well. Add to the fact that our coach is a lame duck one and I dont think we will land the necessary recruits to get back on track.
Hop is gone next year but should be gone now.
I hope I'm wrong. -
Washington has at least a little bit of a name... there's lots of current players in the NBA and they've had some decent success as a program over the last couple decades.Prestonluv said:About the only thing we have to offer right now is playing time.

I have no idea if these transfers have any interest in UW... but I know we can't roll into next year w. Sorn and Roberts... any transfer PF with some decent ability should know that if they come here they'll get minutes and play for a Power Conference school w. some pedigree. And that's why most players transfer, they're seeking a little more attention or an increase in minutes.
