Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 2179143, member: 40"] We slid all of our chips into the middle pursuing Kenny Anderson [sound familiar?], which was the right move, because Anderson was a phenom. My recollection is that our fall back options were Shaun Golden [who ended up at South Carolina] and Edwards, neither of whom were in the same plane of talent. We also were recruiting Jason Buchanon from Nottingham HS who ended up going to St. John's instead. Not that he was a world beater, but he was a cog on some pretty good St. John's teams, and would have been better than Edwards was. I think the seeds for problems were actually sown years before, when we couldn't land players due to Sherman Douglas being such a great player. King Rice opted to go to UNC in lieu of sitting behind The General. And Earl Duncan and Sherm couldn't coexist. Too bad he transferred out -- would have been a natural stepping in for Sherm in 89-90. Oh well... [/QUOTE]
