Message: [QUOTE="Orangezoo, post: 3654813, member: 237"] UW is not exactly located in a hoops hotbed, meanwhile you have Gonzaga and now Oregon who have established themselves as Elite programs in a hoops desert. Hop had to try and recruit his east coast connections and did so with guys like Stewart. It is a lot easier to reboot a program when you are located in recruiting hotbeds. Look at programs turning things around like Texas- Texas has a ton of hoops talent. The West Coast is not easy territory to recruit.. Pac 12 hoops has been awful by comparison for the last two decades. Look at UCLA.. I mean they are an afterthought today anymore. Thus turning things around is already hard enough. [/QUOTE]
