Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 3641564, member: 716"] I would add Carter-Williams to that. Obviously there were a lot of factors at play, but that's what started the cascading nightmare of guard play. The staff loved him, but they thought he'd be at least a three-year guy. Whatever, he did nice things as a sophomore, so it's obvious why he jumped. His play was uneven, but he had some great moments. But then instead of having Carter-Williams as a junior, playing alongside Cooney with Ennis getting heavy reserve minutes at both positions, Ennis got the limelight in 2014 and -- instead of being the four-year guy the staff anticipated -- bolted right away. Which left the team with a totally unprepared Kaleb Joseph starting (rather than coming along with Ennis) on a suddenly very thin and limited team in 2015 and then washing out. I can't blame the staff for not having backup plans here. Everything spiraled out of control pretty quickly. [/QUOTE]
