Message: [QUOTE="Orangezoo, post: 3654858, member: 237"] You had zero kids playing in the Seattle Area in the top 100 in 2020. You had 2 in 2021 including Banchero and then Gregg who Hop locked up for 2021. You have one in 2022. That is hardly a ton of talent to pick from when you factor your competition in the region. Add to that you then have to recruit kids south and east to come play at a program with little tradition, a short history of some success and the list goes on. This isn't just about hop. This is about UW in general. Its not like other coaches have flourished there - they haven't. Romar landed some big fish but didn't do much with it. Hop had to go way out of the region to recruit. I don't excuse all his struggles as I think he has blind spots but you are being blind if you don't see what the challenge at UW really is. [/QUOTE]
