It was historic, but for all the wrong reasons. Dawgman.com’s Chris Fetters and Aaron Beach take a deep dive into the problems that plagued Washington’s 2020-21 men’s basketball season, on both ends of the floor.
In part one, they autopsy the season from start to finish, how the schedule they ended up playing due to the pandemic got them off on the wrong foot, how the zone proved to be ill-suited for the players Mike Hopkins and his staff had at their disposal, and ultimately what caused them to win only five games all year, the lowest number of wins in a UW season since 1994.
After a quick break, Fetters and Beach delve into the returners for this coming season, and how the roster could be constructed using the returners. Who makes up the starting five? Who comes off the bench? How will newcomer Jackson Grant be used?
Beach also gives his thoughts on the transfer portal, who UW has already reached out to, and the number of players he expects to leave Montlake from the current group in the coming weeks.
After our last break, we salute former UW assistant coach Cameron Dollar as he takes off for his next endeavor, which is the Dollar Youth Initiative, a non-profit organization designed to help young people grow, especially those in disadvantaged communities.
With Dollar’s departure, how does Beach see Hopkins revamping the rest of his staff during the offseason? And could there be additional staff brought on to specifically deal with recruiting?
