I still can’t believe this is real.
I know. I keep thinking that guys like Wright, Carter and Stewart were lured to Seattle, 3000 miles away, because Hop cultivated relationships with these dudes when he was an assistant at 'Cuse. His west coast pulls have been nice, solid four year type guys but not immediate game changing players by any means. I assume Hop got here and said to himself he was too far behind to pick up the local knuckleheads that went to SC and focused on every big time player ages 13-16 up and down the West coast while continuing to keep tabs on the few guys he had a tight bond with on the East Coast. The East prospects I'm guessing will begin to dry up and the West kids will begin to blow up. Hop FUCKS in a major way, but the way he Fucks is like a LTR and his fucking is slow and enjoyable. He's not a rapey recruiter like Calipari/WWWes, or Andy Enfield. I don't really have any real info on this but I'm thinking that we start seeing one or two top 20/40 players committing every year with a couple four year stability guys mixed in. OMG! A real strategy run by a real coach. I'm not charging to maximum doog. I've been on 11 since the mountain sweep, add in recruiting buzz and my boner knows no bounds. Doog it up, young brothas!!!
