I hate to put it on one guy who I don't think is a bad coach, but I find it hard not to point at the root of all our problems and blame on JC. He really screwed us over. He comes in with a team who returns every player from the sweet 16 run the year before and fails to make it back. Fair enough it's not easy to do especially when you switch systems but before he we can see his system and recruiting play out he leaves. We're in shambles with recruiting as well as with returning players. Who have no IQ because they have not stuck with a system through their career here. Every year they learn something new.
Guess what? Next year, we won't be "in shambles" in terms of recruiting. A coach leaves and no one in his recruiting class comes back. New coach comes in and fills all of those schollies, but two are transfers that can't play. Next year both of those guys, who will be GOOD players are here, along with four new faces in a highly touted recruiting class. In all, next year's roster will have EIGHT kids on it that Saul recruited. I guarantee you'll notice the difference because of that reason alone, regardless of how talented they are, and I think they'll be very good. Adding to that, there will be 13 scholarship players instead of 10-11 this year.
