Thats an excuse for year 1. That excuse doesn't hold water going into year 3.

Doesn't matter who what when why or where. The misses fall on the HC.

Sure misses are on the HC but the kind of misses do matter. Not being able to identify and recruit guys with enough talent is a much different issue that getting the talent and them being off court problems.

Kinda of a coincidence how the coaches that win big seem to have less misses than the ones who don't.

He who shall not be named had an unreal track record but even he had some misses. He just brought in enough talent that we didn't notice the misses as much because there were other guys on the team to make up for it.

I think we took Jalen Cook out of desperation and just hoped he would stay out of trouble. We had an abysmal year 1 regardless of circumstances and attracting guys in the portal is difficult when you show that how far you are from competing. I would think after showing the ability to compete last season and having the core of the roster remain, we shouldn't need to take a character risk.


This also makes me wonder, do we not view Mike Williams as a viable option at PG at all? The guy played pretty well as a true freshman. If he improves, I think he could be the PG.
