We are  nearly on the same page. We all want to win and watch SU players who make winning a spectacular show. But, mostly winning. The eighties were different because of the emergence of the Big East, which so dominated the college basketball scene during that era. Elite players that were very interested in SU from anywhere were recruited and some made it to the dome. Even from the west coast. Way before that, UCLA dominated everybody with players nationwide including a tall skinny kid from NYC. Times changed and there is now regional parity and kids and their families want to stay local. Coaches want to use their recruiting time efficiently, and Super one and done's have handlers in the eight grade. And, because of the numbers of players leaving early coaches actually have to recruit far more players than in the good old eighties or before. Then four year players were the norm. Let me make clear that if there is another Derrick, John W, Pearl, Carmelo, Gerry, Rosie, Sherman, Billy, Wesley, Dion (apologies to those I missed) or the best ever, Dave Bing; I want him. Don't care from where. But, in his last go around I think SU is best served by JB playing to his strengths.
