What I and I believe most others are saying is to let the process play out. As long as progress on the court is on display, I'm willing to be patient. Only infants and juveniles demand instant gratification.
I won't even address the Subvert the program statement because its to dumb. Fans are allowed to be critical. You don't have to act like everything is fine to trick recruits. Damn it. I addressed it.
What drives me up a wall about opinions like this quote is that some fans want everyone to act like the basketball program and coach have no faults and people should be patient while others on this board are criticizing Jay Johnson on his coaching abilities less than a year removed from a NC. My point isn't that Jay shouldn't be criticized but more that every coach and program should feel the pressure from fans when they are not performing to the standard.
I believe in CMM's ability to develop players and I think he has done a decent job at recruiting. I am cautiously optimistic that we take another step forward next season.

So you don't believe recruits read these boards? Or perhaps you don't think supposed fans acting like arsehats has any effect at all on these recruits? I tend to think that potential recruits like to read from supportive fans and not some jerk denigrating the coach at every opportunity.
Maybe the assinine comments do not have a direct effect on recruiting but how can you deny that it gets into the subconcious?
No. I don't. Players don't care that much about it. Their concerns are different than fans. As is their outlook. Now, more than ever, in the NIL landscape. Take for example, Missouri. They were awful last season. I'm sure many in their fanbase were critical of their HC. They have 5 four star players signed. Georgia Tech sucked last season. Given they haven't been good for a long time now I suspect their fans have long been critical of the program. They have a top 15 recruiting class. Hell, McMahon and LSU have the #11 ranked class. Is that because he's overcome the subversion efforts of the fans? Or that recruits simply don't care?

Yep. It's bizarre. I can't remember a coach at LSU who accomplished so little, yet had such fervent support from a small, but very diligent, group
