1)  GMac's not the closer/finisher, especially not for big recruits like Quade, Boeheim is.  We're not going to win recruiting battles with UK and Duke.  It's just not going to happen.  As for the 'couple others', there wasn't much there.  The NCAA's sanctions on the recruiting trail have hurt us more than any other part of the punishment, including the scholarship reductions.

2)  Our guards aren't talented.  You're asking him to mold poop into an artistic vase when it's ceiling is as a bowl for pooping in.  Gillon is not suited to play at this level.  He's a good midmajor guard whose strength is shooting but he can't get his shot off against the big boys.  IDK what GMac is supposed to do with that.  Howard will be a solid upperclassman for us, but he wasn't a particularly highly rated recruit out of high school and he has skill deficiencies that are killing him on top of the mental mistakes.  Is not being able to dribble a ball against any level of defensive pressure GMac's fault or Howard's fault?  I'd lean Howard.  We've had worse rated recruits play better than Howard as sophomores but we've also had better rated recruits play worse.  It happens.  Battle's a freshman and exempted from the discussion because he's basically playing how most freshman play.
