This guy fashions himself a Ben Simmons prototype. He might be.
If Fultz stays for his sophomore year, UW could be the front runners in the Pac 12.
Seattle puts out legit talent. Congrats to Washington. Romar seems to have a lottery pick more often than not.
I just went by this. Michael Porter Jr. - Basketball Recruiting - Player Profiles - ESPNUmm Porter isn't from Seattle, I am almost positive he is from Missouri

It's going to take more than those two (and Nowell), imo. They kinda drop off after that, and I think the Pac is going to be pretty strong in the years to come. Also, Romar is notoriously terrible on the road, year after year, and even with very talented squads. I think they have quite a bit of work to do before they get into the convo of Pac frontrunner.
We have 2 big guys in Atewe (transfer) and Timmons (early enrollee), that will be eligible this year. They were around last year so they have some experience in Romar's system.........or lack their of.They also got significant contributions from other freshman in Crisp, Dickerson and Thybulle. I'm banking on them improving as well as they'll be juniors by then. If they have Fultz come back, which is a big if, IMO they'd have the best starting 5 in the Pac 12.

Yeah, that is getting a bit presumptuous, to me. I think the Pac is getting stronger. I understand that there are some good players that are/will be on their way out for each team, but there is a lot of talent here and coming in. I think that UW in '17 might be a little more reminiscent to Cal this past year. Certainly top half, but not frontrunner.
Again, taking AZ for example, who do you see as AZ's squad for that season? Who stays, goes, and comes in? Who is their starting 5? That's pretty tough to call to me. AZ has 15 offers for 5-star recruits in 17'. How many do they get and how do they do as freshmen? How will the 3 5-stars who are freshmen this coming year do that year? How will Ray Smith and Comanche develop by then?
What about the rest of the Pac, regarding all of those issues? UCLA has a nice class coming in with some young pieces in place. Enfield and Krystkowiak are continuing to get a lot out of their players. Altman somehow always pulls shit out of his ass without having really any recruiting classes to speak of. He gets bunch of transfers and finds a way to put it together. What happens to that? How about Hurley, or is their a dark horse?
I also have some huge reservations about Romar. If you care to look back, I've actually been pretty big on Romar in the past. I kept looking at his rosters every year and thinking that he had to get them fighting for the title again. But except for some rough injuries, he has led some solid players into mediocre production as a team. Like I said about him as a road coach, I think he only has a couple winning seasons on the road in the last 5 years. I'm done defending him. He's had some studs and underachieved. They haven't even made the tourney in 5 years. I still believe in the potential of UW, how they can dominate the entire NW area, and get all the way into CA. But I think this Romar has already hit his peak.
I stand by what I said earlier about them having the best starting 5 in the Pac 12 if Fultz stays. They'd probably have the two most talented players at that point. The Pac 12 is going to be good the next couple of years, it certainly won't be easy.
Again, who will AZ's starting 5 be in 2017?
Don't know and if Fultz does come back it won't matter. AZ won't have anybody as good as those 2.
So you went from frontrunner, to best starting 5, to best 2. Got it.
No, you can't comprehend. I said if Fultz stays they COULD be frontrunners in the Pac 12. And if he stays along with Porter, I think they'll have the best starting 5 in the Pac 12. And like I said no combination would be better than them two.
