re: Coach Jones track record

With the recruiting class we brought in combined with the existing pieces, no doubt this should be a tournament team. No excuse not to make the NCAA this year.

That's not really how this works, either. Any time you combine new guys with guys from the old regime, so to speak, there are risks in terms of chemistry and such. And we are missing some key pieces required of a solid tourney team. I thought we'd be on the bubble/in the NIT this year. I'm definitely disappointed in our effort the last few games, but next year and the following year are "do-or-die" in my eyes. Let's let Jones get all of his guys in here before we jump ship. I think just having longer guards will do wonders for us.

ETA: And GODDAMN we are missing a Carmouche type guy this year. A coach on the court who will bring the intenisty every single night.
