The problem with our recruiting has been the complete swings and misses (or underwhelming impact) of kids that were expected to be 3-4 year players:

Johnson
Patterson
Roberson to an extent
Coleman to an extent
Chino
Joseph

Outside of Roberson, Coleman and a few game stretch for Johnson last year, none of those kids have contributed much to an important (non-cupcake) win. And Roberson/Coleman haven't been more than contributing players, both with expectations of being more entrenched on this team. And Cooney has never developed any sort of consistency.

Sure, it was probably expected that Ennis would've been more than a one-and-done, but McCullough was never any sort of long term solution. I don't remember Jerami's expectations coming in, but I'm guessing most thought he was a 2-3yr player if he showed improvement, based on his length and athleticism. But Ennis/Grant have been gone for 2 years now, enough with the excuses about them turning pro.

Thankfully, Lydon and Malachi were ready to contribute immediately, because this program would've been in deep crap this year. Hopefully, they'll both be back at least one more year, and Battle/Moyer/Chukwu are capable to play from the start. The program needs to build some momentum again.
