I know it isn’t the right thing to do, but both are top 40 players in last year’s class and have great upside. It’s not like I am saying to guarantee spots for 2 guys that can’t positively impact the program.  Kiyan is also legacy and will keep Melo engaged with the program and can help with recruiting from the portal. White has shown that he has even more potential than Kiyan and has a chance of being drafted into the NBA. Both haven’t been great but I wouldn’t say they are unproven.

If we moved on from Red last year when there were several big name coaches available, my view would be different. Right now I don’t see the names that can impact the program enough where top portal recruits would come running. Louisville has been a top notch program but had a bad year and quickly moved on from their problem coach. Not enough time to lose its luster and for kids to forget how good a program it is. We’ve been in the doldrums for many years and so our outlook is different.

There’s nothing wrong with telling a prospective hire that we’d like to keep 2 or 3 guys and build our roster not around them but with them.
