Statistically, I agree with you.  Griffin came in one year after Hart, and then backed him up his first year.  Played alongside him out of position at the 2 [despite being only 6 feet tall], which wasn't a great fit for his skill set.  JB went with a bigger player for the 2000 season in Bland [we started out 19-0 that year], which relegated Griffin to the bench again, but he and Damone Brown stepped up and significantly elevated that tremendously mediocre 2001 team, getting them into the NCAA tournament.

If Griffin's timing had been different [i.e., not arriving one year after an experience 4 year starter manning his position], he would have made a bigger impact than just senior year.  He was a terrific player, from a terrific high school program.  One of the hardest workers we've ever had in practice, and had a great attitude.  Most top 50-ish recruits would have transferred, but he waited for his turn.  Kid could ball, and was a tremendous athlete [sounds like Washington might not be].
