Could be. Both Hopkins and @Cohen12 talked alot how he wanted to "build" something, maybe he didn't see a one and done as a fit for that at this stage?

Really weird.

Year 1 is going to be about establishing a culture and getting 100% buy in to building that culture and identity

How many 1 and dones are game for that when they won't be competing for a national title?

Agree. I like him and I'm optimistic.

I thought the Julius Hodge story was his way of saying Porter isn't coming.

To be fair, asking about retaining recruits is probably a legitimate question. The "have you talked to Romar" is less legitimate and what I'd expect from Kim.

Because he knows exactly what the fuck kind of player Porter Jr is. Good for Hopkins. Just another way I can revel in doog misery and frustration

This. UW, like most programs, isn't built for one and done success.

Even a school like Kansas mostly has 3 and 4 year guys sprinkled in with an occasional one and done. Syracuse has a similar model. North Carolina doesn't really do one and dones either.

Kentucky and Duke are the only schools that have done really well with one and dones.

Myself, Pepperidge Farm, and Race all remember whem nobody left Duke early under Coach K. Elton Brand was the first (after soph year) and it was a huge deal in '99.

Dude will have pocketed $1 Million in two years of doing essentially nothing. By then MPJ will have his first round money and they won't give a shit.

Gonzaga does fine with one and dones.

They are are grad transfers but still...

I love what he said in the presser "it's about getting talent, KEEPING talent, and developing talent". No more one and dones finally.

Dealing with the Porters might not be a game Hopkins and Cohen are willing to play.

Hopkins has to create his culture next season, and it is likely easier to do that without Porter.

I believe the real reason Porter was the last one Hopkins called is that he wanted to lock in the other guys as 'special' - the turnaround guys for the hometown school. He closed them first (kind of the low hanging fruit approach). He got their commitment and sold them on him - probably said something like "look - you're going to be around for 2, 3, maybe 4 years - don't base your decision on a guy whose only going to be here 1. If he comes, great...if not, what school is the best fit? And if you answer is here, then you should be here *irregardless of what MPJ does".

If Porter's nose got bent out of shape being the last one called 1) he's not OKG and 2) even if he was consisdering staying, the new sheriff is in town and there's no favorites. Dude has coached Carmello and Lebron and Durrant - HDNGAF about Nathan Hale's greatest home schooler.
