Billy has gotten away from what made him the coach he is. That's the dilemma major college coaches face though. Do you pass on a blue chipper and try to find a 3 star who will stay for 3 years or roll the dice with a 1 year guy. Regardless, the way he is doing it hasn't been working in Lawrence. Getting manhandled by a experience filled WSU team was just the proof in the pudding.

Also hearing from people I know that Ron Baker is leaving. That was pre Marshall staying, but he is a moron if he goes. Wichita State will have a legit squad if he stays and the addition of Frankcamp will be huge for backcourt depth.

Despite the changes in modern college basketball, you still Need experience (especially at the guard position) to win in the NCAA Tournament. The only outliers I can think of are 2012 Kentucky and 2003 Syracuse

You are way overreacting to two tournament losses in seasons where they won the conference and got 2 seeds. What bill self is doing hasn't been working? Are you high?

Also, we still have the multiple year guys. Mason, selden, and Ellis will all start as upperclassmen next year. Not sure what Braggs role will be as the class isn't finished but I'd guess we get one or two more guys and are a top 2 seed again next year. It doesn't appear to be a national title caliber team, but it could be depending on who comes to Lawrence and how the bigs develop.
