With the 2021-22 men's basketball season upon us - the team plays Central Washington tonight in their lone exhibition game - it's time to break down what's expected from this year's Hoop Dawgs.And the Dawgman interns - Jack McCauley and Intern Emeritus Luke Mounger - are joined by former Hoop Dawg Jason Crandall as he offers up his insight into the new players that he's gotten a chance to play against over the years.And it's always a good thing to start the podcast off with some breaking news; senior forward Reagan Lundeen has been put on scholarship for his final year, according to Crandall. That certainly answers the question of how Hopkins was going to use the one scholarship available for this season.They start with the incoming transfers, talking about the inclusion of Terrell Brown, Jr., Daejon Davis, Emmitt Matthews, Jr., P.J. Fuller, and others, and how this particular group of transfers offers something different from the previous groups of transfers that have shown up at Montlake, starting on defense.How will Mike Hopkins use the lineup? Will it be pretty static with the starters, or do they think he'll mix and match more? And how will an infusion of length help the Huskies run Hopkins' Syracuse-based zone?The guys then move to the other newcomers, namely Jackson Grant and Langston Wilson. Jack has been able to see Jackson evolve over the years, being from Grant's hometown of Olympia.Crandall, with his UW-based contacts, offers insight into some of the players that stayed with the Huskies after last season, starting with Nate Roberts and moving to Cole Bajema, Jamal Bey, Riley Sorn, and others.Talk then moves to the non-conference schedule and games against teams like Northern Illinois, Northern Arizona, the Crossover Classic in South Dakota (including games with Nevada, George Mason, and South Dakota State), and then the rest of the schedule - including a stretch of games against Arizona, UCLA, and at Gonzaga in early December, that will really test the mettle of this team before the Hoop Dawgs jump headfirst into Pac-12 play just before the new year.To finish the 45-minute preview podcast up, the guys give their thoughts on just how successful the 2021-22 Huskies are going to be. With talk that this particular group is much tighter than ever before, it sounds great. But we've seen this movie play out before. Is this year going to be different? Will they be able to out-perform their 11th place league expectations?
