Message: [QUOTE="Sherman20, post: 4627250, member: 6357"] The point is that we didn’t use the portal at all, except to find a backup center. You have to do both (build the roster with both high school recruiting and the portal) and JB didn’t bother with the latter (except for a backup center). Recruiting a base of six freshman is great. But there was a need to find a starting level small forward last spring and JB didn’t do it and we paid the price. He also could have lobbied Cole to return and he didn’t bother with that either. All the assistants were telling him that we needed to get an experienced, proven forward from the portal. JB became very stubborn at the end. There’s no denying that. [/QUOTE]
