Looking Like Recruiting Class is 100% Gone ...
Looks like the Seattle hoops community is flexing its muscle and protesting the Romar firing by giving Hopkins absolutely no chance out of the gate ...
Also an example of what happens when you let someone stay in a position too long and poison the waters ...
Also an example that things are going to be a challenge at least in the short term ...
Even more kudos IMO to Cohen for making this call knowing that regardless of when she pulled the plug on Romar that it was going to be ugly so might as well start it immediately and get the pain started ...

You'd think a good man like Romar would have stepped up and tried to help the university that has done so much for him.

Davis will go to Gonzaga Nowell to Oregon

Behind closed doors ... does not appear to be the case -
Should've just folded the program.
Fuck it. -
If Dollar and Conroy are worth a shit, they will recruit these guys hard to stay and rebuild

The "Seattle hoops community" can go fuck themselves.Tequilla said:If a leading Scout recruiting analyst (Josh Gershon) is to be believed from what I've heard through the grapevine ... both Davis and Nowell are out ...

Gonzaga is 20 minutes away from the Final Four and they have exactly one player from the state of Washington on the roster - and the only reason he's on the squad is his dad was Tommy Lloyd's high school coach.
Go find fucking good to great players. There's a whole world to recruit. The Seattle AAU people can come back and beg for access later.

I just want some more tears from @206Hoops

I thought Hopkins was a great recruiter? Can't even convince the local guys to stay.
SAD. -
Maybe they need to get bitch slapped that UW is no longer the safe fall-back school at their beck and call.ThomasFremont said:I thought Hopkins was a great recruiter? Can't even convince the local guys to stay.

Lots of schools win without access to local talent. Sean Elliott is about the only 'great' I've ever heard come out of Tucson.

The fact that they are local should make the sales job that much easier, especially for an alleged great recruiter.
If he pulls talent from the other side of the country or some foreigner, fine. But he just lost 2 top guys from our back yard. Unless he has a replacement lined up, this is a fail.
