Then 2014 hit and we didn’t recruit a PG till last year and Howard Washington.
Sanctions aren’t why we have gone 3 straight recruiting cycles without a PG recruit.
Sanctions are such an easy excuse.
Coaches on the road are used as well.
When 2 of your coaches JB and Hop are with USA Basketball in 2014 and 2016 how does that hurt when you can only have 2 coaches on the road?

Our sustained excellence had to do with the fact we had
Jonny Flynn 2009
Scoop Jardine 2010-2012
Brandon Triche 2010-2013
Dion Waiters 2011-2012
Michael Carter-Williams 2013
Tyler Ennis 2014

Sanctions took 2 scholarships away.
The history has shown we haven’t used 13 scholarships on all basketball players and non-walkons since 2003.
We lost 3 scholarships for 1 year.
 No backup PG behind Greene hurt us.
Recruiting wasn’t killed by sanctions.
That didn’t kill us and people making that excuse are doing just that making an excuse.
JB hurt recruiting in that time.
Hop was setup to fail starting next year. Hop left for Washington and boom JB became more motivated on recruiting.
Griffin got Bazley
Autry got Carey
Boeheim got Tucker till Duke stole him and got Buddy.

We have a good recruiting class.
Sanctions aren’t why we fell. It contributed no doubt but the problems went well beyond that.
