Bryant committed to Indiana in early April.  Diagne's problems didn't show up until mid-august(?). I think, despite being well-regarded by some on this board and a good recruit in his own right, Diagne was the safety net to not getting Bryant. And then Diagne couldn't qualify, which really impacted things.  So now they were essentially down three players (Diagne, Obokoh, and Joseph).  Emergency recruiting should have started last August for 2016-17.

I don't necessarily think so.  I think it is difficult and I think that the sanctions did mess with recruiting, but it can be overcome. Look at Lousiville, they'll have a full complement of players next season including grad transfers.  And there's zero reason to send Obokoh and Joseph packing unless they're bringing in replacements who can contribute this coming season or in 2017.  If they go into next season with 9-10 scholarship players, and Spike Albrecht, it will be disappointing.
