Message: [QUOTE="cuseincincy, post: 2166105, member: 331"] It goes a little deeper in my opinion. Losing the one and dones or the 5 stars doesn't bother me or really hurt the program that much. Eg. McCullough. But Lydon, Richardson, Ennis, Grant. Those are all players that were not anticipated to leave as early as they did. When you sign recruits outside the top 20 you really should be able to expect them to be there for at least a couple years (Ennis 22, Richardson 29). Lydon was 69 and Grant 39. Pretty sure they were expected to be here for 3 or 4 years. This whole "if you might be drafted then jump" thing is a relatively new phenomena and yes JB needs to somehow adapt better. BJ not redshirting as a frosh and Joseph/Patterson not being as good as expected also hurt. And that is all just in the past 5 years. [/QUOTE]
