What difference did it make that BT started his frosh year?  Scoop was coming back from injury and issues.  Starting BT made good sense and allowed for ample substitutions.  It made Scoop try and play D.  And no one really knows the value it played in getting DC2 here.  How you consider that to be a mistake is a mystery to me.  For BTs soph year, Dion did not play D.  Secondly, how exactly would it have helped if Dion developed?  Dion was teetering on leaving after his frosh year as it was, giving him a frosh start just may have done it.  And last year, Dion fouled out in the biggest game of the year anyway.
 
Just how, and who, were you going to get to recruit over BT?  Last year a McD was the 4th guard, and a highly recruited player was taking a redshirt, and there was a returning 3 year starter.  And this is all pretending they knew that Dion was going pro and they didn't know of the staff's heavy interest in Ennis for the following year.  And then there is the whole MG thing too.
 
The combination of frustration and hindsight can lead to strange results.  This is one of them.  Don't start BT in earlier years during one of the programs best stretches in history because he is in a slump in his senior year.  Classic.
