re: It's hard to build a bball program when TJ can't recruit

yeah, that's what I'm pretty much saying for the last 3 years or so. There's no elite talent in La and we aren't exactly a national powerhouse thats going to go into Texas or Florida and pull the high 4 stars and 5's. I can't think of any big names out of La that Trent has missed on...

and FWIW, I don't think talent is all the problem. We had the better players last night but the lack of hustle on D and on the boards was so fricking bad.
