The guys from Dawgman.com - Chris Fetters and Aaron Beach - take time out during this football BYE week to gear up for some hoops talk, specifically previewing the men's basketball team.
What can UW fans expect from the team this season, especially with how poorly they played last year? They were 5-21, including 4-16 in the conference. Gone are Marcus Tsohonis, Nate Pryor, Erik Stevenson, Hameir Wright, Raequan Battle, J'Raan Brooks, and Quade Green.
Fetters and Beach first talk about Mike Hopkins and what he did in the offseason to put the Huskies in a position to taste success. He made some big moves within his coaching staff, as Cameron Dollar and Dave Rice left and Wyking Jones and Quincy Pondexter took their place alongside Hopkins and Will Conroy.
Then they talk about the huge roster revamp, starting with the backcourt. Terrell Brown, Daejon Davis, and P.J. Fuller take over for Green, Tsohonis, and Stevenson.
Talk then turns to the wings, with some discussion on Jamal Bey, Emmitt Matthews, Cole Bajema, and Samuel Ariyibi.
After a quick break to pay some bills, Fetters and Beach finish up their roster revamp preview by talking about the bigs, the men in the middle that will be counted on to protect the rim and start the transition. They have a number of options, with Nate Roberts, Riley Sorn, Langston Wilson, Jackson Grant.
And how will this revamped lineup fare in the Pac-12? In Beach's opinion, how many wins is this team capable of? And could they stun the league and get to 20 wins?
