I think roster construction takes time with great evaluation.  I’m excited that Kline has been out on the recruiting trail watching games and connecting with players. I think the portal is going to change and the ability to recruit will become important. Red and his staff are building relationships with the 26 class, especially with Rippley and Smith.  You put those two kids on a roster and a coach will instantly look better.  The four kids coming in next year are all more skilled than most of the players on this roster. We saw Tuesday that the right guys on the floor can play defense.  Red needs to get guys who can defend and play offense.  We have half a roster who can only play one end of the floor. Sure, that is on the coaching staff, but let’s see how the roster looks next year after a full season with Kline as GM and two recruiting classes under Red.  There’s no denying this roster is a complete mess, but we need to be careful we don’t lose all the work going on behind the scenes to put us further back.  If the portal changes, which I think will happen, you better be able to recruit.  Players make coaches look good. Ask JB?
