Message: [QUOTE="SoBristol, post: 4081433, member: 485"] There is a lot to unpack in your very long post (much of which I did not copy). Recruiting is an inexact science, as we all know, in identifying who you want, landing your preferred choices, and projecting their development physically and in basketball skills. You have big hits (Lydon, Buddy, Edwards, Gbinje, Marek) as well as misses. There are a few cases where we took player A, in favor of B who would surely take our offer, but more cases where we settled on a skinny center because better recruits went elsewhere. When our players improve over their careers (with big jumps from year 1) do you credit genetics, summer S&C, summer skills developed at home, more playing time, our coaches for smart recruiting and running good practices? And for players who don’t, it falls on our staff? Mixed bag of examples here and elsewhere because the science is inexact. If you think the root cause is our staff, carry on. [/QUOTE]
