Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 1767392, member: 40"] Boeheim also stated coming off of last summer that Kaleb improved more last offseason than anybody on the team. So, even accounting for some fudge factor there, I don't believe that JB envisioned Joseph regressing the way he did and ultimately being gone. It is easy to look back now and through the 20/20 hindsight lens say: "well OBVIOUSLY Joseph wasn't going to be here next year... JB should have done something differently on the recruiting trail prior to last November..." I think last November, we expected to only need one guard. The top two guys we prioritized were Battle and Huerter. Right, wrong, or indifferent--they liked Battle a bit more and made him the focus of their efforts. I think we COULD have landed Huerter if we'd focused more on him instead of Battle, but the coaches wanted Battle and ultimately got him. [/QUOTE]
