In the 1980s players didn’t leave before their Junior year unless they were Magic or Isiah Thomas.
Thus, the teams were all better and while I am sure we had good talent it wasn’t the elite of the elite.

Pearl Washington was stud that was JB’s first real stud. I don’t know if we really had any inexcusable flameouts from 1981-1985.

1986 I have watched that loss to Navy that was a bad loss at home.
1987 was special.
1988-1990 those were all elite teams that should have done more but whatever.
1991 I have read the PS stuff hurt the program and it was bad March.
1992 was solid season we just lost to a better team in Worcester.
1994 we were a 4 seed and could have won that OT game against Mizzou.

The thing about JB is that really only had Pearl, Coleman, Owens, Carmelo as elite recruits.

We have had other really good recruits but those are the elite 4.

That is why the 1980s he couldn’t coach doesn’t make sense because everyone had talent. Now the talent doesn’t stay any longer than they have too.
