Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 2978422, member: 40"] ...a continued flaw of assessment. Staff took a hard pass on Jalen Brunson because he was too short. Three years later, at 6-2 and the winner of two national championships in three years, he made that assessment seem asinine in retrospect. I don't care if the staff recruits system fits for the zone at every OTHER position, but we are screwing up sacrificing skill for size / length at point guard. College basketball is so heavily guard driven, that we really disadvantage ourselves by not having guys who are natural lead guards. Plus, we've had / recruited many lead guards who aren't rangy athletes, and several of those guys have had nice careers here. If there is one position we should recruit the best talent and not worry about purely defensive fit, it's point guard. [/QUOTE]
