Red didn't get the PG that he wanted nor some other pieces, this is nothing new with SU - except for, what, 12 years out of the last 50 we have had weak spots in our roster.  Actually, I think SU has a long history of not getting their top PG target, though I know that we did get some of them.  Of course, if Quadir wasn't a head case (supposedly), he would have solved 2/3s of our guard problems as an experienced junior (I certainly don't blame Red for Q).  I thought Red did quite well with Freeman, Moore, and Lampkin (and so did many on the board before the season began, including many who are now bitterly complaining).  How many of you were complaining that he recruited Moore (who hopefully is not a 'high school points' case but seems to be) before the season began?

I can't wait to get the coach that all of you experts want, and have top talent at every position, every year - it will be great.

And none of this concerns Red's game coaching, which I thought was the significant unknown in hiring him (and JB's last remaining virtue).  I agree he needs to improve.

One last thing, I think much of the criticism of the players not trying hard is not correct  - I know that many posters have said it many times, but that doesn't made it true.
