Romar and this roster management, DNC (free pub!) and other hoop experts chime in, fuck it it's off
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uL41QZe_8TMand Mathew Attewe (NCAA has to let him play or the kid will be 26 by the time he gets out of college) and Noah Dickerson. All three are true low post players, and it looks like Romar is scrapping the High post bullshit offense. Add in Marquesse Chriss and that is a formidable front court, and players UW has rarely seen under Romar. I know he can recruit wings and guards, but this front court is impressive. Lots of SEC type bigs coming to Montlake to play with the wings Romar recruited.
I am reluctant to expect anything immediate next season, but the cluster fuck of talent Romar has put on the court the last two years was unwatchable.

Winters was also pretty damn good at Indian Hills. The transition to pac12 isn't going to be easy for all. UW was always best with 6'8/9" type "bigs" who run the floor and can defend. Whether or not any of these guys can actually play that role is still up for debate. I know next year we'll see a chorus of "young team" comments. Most of the bigs need seasoning. Attewe wasn't exactly special at auburn, and has been hurt most of his career. Noah is a project. Dime looks to be the most game ready outside of Attewe.
This year is going to be ugly. Followed by a few more kids leaving when they don't get PT. Having 8 or 9 new players on a team is not a solid resume builder in year 14. I expect to see at least 3 or 4 leave next year(including one specific player to the nba draft). -
For the record, I was in favor of firing Romar after last season. I think we could have still attracted a quality coach who could have kept a lot of the recruits here, and if they have a shitty year this year and fire him, the program will be completely fucked. Not only were they shitty last year but Romar looked and acted like he didn't give a fuck at all. He showed no emotion during and after games, and played the part of a tenured guy collecting a paycheck. When UW was good, Romar was spinning around, yelling, stamping his feet, throwing his jacket, and getting technicals.
That being said, if Romar is going to turn this thing around, he is doing it the right way.
1. Get rid of all the pussies currently on the team - CHECK (except for Winters)
2. Bring in a bunch of athletic, aggressive players - CHECK
3. Ditch the high-post and go back to rat ball - This hasn't been confirmed but I'd assume this is where they're heading (Brad Jackson, however is still coaching so who knows)
4. Bring back Angry Romar who actually cares about his job - This is yet to be seen but recent reports from shoot-arounds and incoming player shit say that Romar is way more focused and intense than he has been over the last 4 or 5 years.
The team will probably be shit this year since they are bringing in an entirely new roster, and, as has been mentioned, if they completely suck, Romar and all these young players will be gone after next season. At that point, whoever is coaching the 4th place team in the WCC (LMU, Santa Clara, Portland, who knows) will likely be hired as coach and the team will ride the cellar of the Pac for 4 years until he is fired. However, Romar seems to be going about things the right way with what he has at this point and we may end up surprised. -

Lot of racism here

UW will be bad again next year. The recruiting class will likely be a facade. Other than Andrews, the program has no quality returning players. Even Andrews hasn't shown to be any better than possibly above average.
As for the freshmen, it's a great class. For UW. He rankings are kind of a facade though. UW signed so many players that it helps the rankings. If a team signed one five star and one four star they would be ranked below UW. It's a class that could be a foundation for future years.
Murray is the only one that will make a big impact. The rest are maybe's at best. And Romar is still a shitty coach so that doesn't help. -
Remember the season that Dorsey had? Expect that for a lot of these guys, with the exception they will have more opportunities to work through (at least hopefully) their issues in game situations.
