i was happy with the portal season  - i assumed that cuffe jj and westry were good to go with their injuries based on the staff wanting them - which didnt quite work out...jj had rust, cuffe had a lot of rust...westry didnt play.

i was not a fan of mcleod...

in hindsight it wasnt as good as I thought...i trusted the coaches assumptions, to a certain degree...and they were inaccurate.

i wanted different forwards and centers...still do. but i assumed the coaches knew what they were doing there...

my point is just i hope they cast a wide net and dont only go for players with a previous relationship. yes IT CAN get you some sought after players ...but makes your pool unnecessarily small...im not saying dont go for players with a previous relationship!

also going back to how JB was going after every city rock and boeheim was ptsd-inducing

yeah its all about relationships to a certain extent...im just saying dont ONLY go for prior connects. like they seemed to first try...

grad transfers and portal guys looking to move up a league are not going to schools bc of relationships...knecht likely (speculating) didnt go to tenn bc of prior rlationships. my point.

they are going for opportunity and spotlight...which SU has to offer ANYONE.
