I think others have touched on it but there is so much more to this and the decisions JW has to make than just a 9-10 season and the weakest stretch of years in JBs history.

The first thing is that our national reputation is that of a perennial bubble team that is dangerous in the tourney. We are irrelevant till Feb March when bubble finality gets closer.

There is now a string of guys who things didn't work out for as freshmen and left for perceived better opportunities but ultimately things weren't great in their time here. We lost some multi year guys to the portal for a similar lack of opportunity. We have even had some transfers go pro or leave because they weren't happy with the circumstances.

For the kids that have stayed the idea of transferring has been on too many minds.

All of these things are rough and yet the trend and response has been weak in terms of addressing these issues. You have former guys talking about how Hop and Bernie mattered so much.

It's a complete 360 degree storm of problems not just results that aren't great. There are very few situations where that list of problems would ever equate to a full pass.

The whole thing just sucks and it gets uglier every year it persists.
