We lost Ennis after the 2014 season.
We got the penalties from the NCAA in February 2015.
We were allowed to keep our 2015 recruiting class. Malachi, Lydon, Howard.

Our penalties started the next class.
We lost Huerter because we didn’t have a scholarship for him. We got Battle instead. We chose Battle over Huerter.

The NCAA gave us back 4 scholarships from the 12 they initially took.

We had 11 the from 2017-2019. That isn’t why we were medicore.

The sanctions weren’t where we had barely enough players to play.
It’s been poor roster management and player development.

JB typically has 1 or 2 walk-ons on scholarship as a reward and for APR purposes.
The sanctions cost those players scholarships. Also because Buddy was on an AAU team at the time JB could watch his games as a parent and we could get around the one less coach on the road penalty.

Also Hop and JB were with USA basketball during some of those summers leaving GMac and Autry to go to events versus the top dogs from other schools. K could afford to do USA basketball as Duke recruits for itself we don’t. Our coaches have to work for it.

Our problems now are our own fault.
