I agree with you on the most part, but with the success that our programs, I don't want to accept a throw away year like this one. I can accept a winning season as a throw away year, but it doesn't look like this will happen.

As a retired high school coach, I didn't get to recruit my players and talent ran in cycles. But I never would accept any season as a throw away year. Our goals were always set high and that's something I'm worried that I'm not seeing.

But since Miles was mentioned, his recruiting classes have been over the top. Nikki's not so much.

At least with Football, we had elite classes and have to ability to be something special. In this case for WBB, not so much. I think this is the main reason why many just want to be done with it now, not once has she brought in a top 20 class. I mean, Van wasn't doing so hot yet he had elite talent coming in. Its very frustrating. It would take a minimum of another three years of good recruiting classes, not average, but good recruiting classes to turn this program around. We just have no reason for an optimism on the recruiting trails, for 2017, lots of top prospects have already removed us as candidates in their choices. Recruiting can be tough but wtf is she and this staff selling. I mean LSU is a very good school, rich in history for WBB. It wasn't long ago we were going to final 4's. Top notch facilities and lots of oppertunites. Now, its a miracle if we can land a player with a pulse.
