This Simmons debacle is bad for recruiting and JJ is to blame

This article is basically about how Simmons and other freshmen studs will most likely not reach the ncaa tournament.

This is the statement that caught my eye
"Hey superstar recruit, I know you want to forge your own path at a school you grew up loving, but the reality is you’ve got to come to Kentucky/Kansas/Perennial Top 10 team if you want a shot at the Title. "

In all honesty it's on JJ and the coaching staff. Coaching has been horrendous.

Well, here we go.

Victor not even eligible yet.

Three freshmen start, who never rebounded in HS and played little defense

Give it time before you fire the coach.

I have been the biggest pro CJJ guy there is. But his defensive scheme is probably the worst in college basketball.

It's fundamental stuff that we suck at. Defense, Rebounding, Discipline, Ft's, Shot selection.
And it's not like we are losing to Duke and Kansas,
we're losing to college of Charleston and Houston.
That's why or SOS is in the 300's

Not an excuse for not rebounding or playing decent defense. They play with less discipline than pickup games at the URec at times.

What is our philosophy on offense?

Just get dunks in transition and in half-court sets hope Hornsby is on from 26 feet out?

More excuses.

I learned how to block out, rebound, and play defense in 7th grade. It ain't rocket science.

It's simply not being addressed properly and focused on by Jones.

Garbage.

Eeyore will always be walking under that black rain cloud. Good grief. Let the fricking season play out.

It's hard to argue and won't be surprising if this sets the program back another decade.

Most guys worth a damn aren't going to stay more than one year so it doesn't matter to the guy that just wants an NBA paycheck. If you want a title in that one year window, yes, you have only a few schools that have a good shot at getting you there.
