He was great the last two seasons, but fans are concerned. For one, he succeeded with Romar's recruits. Nowell, Thybulle, Crisp, Dickerson, etc. all Romar guys. His guys haven't exactly panned out (Wright, Naz, etc.). This is the first year where it has really been Hop's recruits, and it isn't working out.
Some are putting Quade Green's ineligibility on Hop. That is up for debate. Either way it's not a good look for the program.
He's getting a lot of criticism for not trusting the younger guys. He continues to play a struggling Wright instead of Roberts.
There is a lot of concern about the future. Young guys aren't getting better, and UW has no one signed for next season. Hop seems to be going all in on 2021, which is a dangerous gamble.
