Message: [QUOTE="reedny, post: 1670645, member: 1423"] The staff missed on KJ ... I had hopes for him for a long time but the staff's pretty much given up. You could call this a whiff ... since he's been recruited over and they hand-picked him. That said, predicting how kids will develop is an art, not a science. And the staff normally has an amazing eye for talent ... going back to Dion, MCW, Ennis, Rak and more recently Malachai and Tyler Lydon. I think a greater concern is our front line. I'm not sure of the timing, but once TB was a no-show, we should have brought in a 5th year or JUCO big. I mean ... after Diagne flamed out, we were desperate. I understand that Sanctions created some chaos. But clearly, we were going to be 2 bigs short of a top 15-20 level team and that's a crying shame .. b/c our back court would be a wrecking machine in conference and the NCAA's if we had some size inside.
