Not for nothing but we do have this thing called NCAA scholarship restrictions that is still penalizing us.  And let's go back to your 3 to 5 years where you say we are lost.  Here are the players in that time frame that left Cuse early for the NBA.  Seven guys.  You know how many other schools lost that many players due to early entrants?  I'm going to guess maybe one other school.
2012 Dion and Fab
2013 MCW
2014 Grant and Ennis
2015 CMac
2016 Malachi

So not only did we have less scholarships to use but there are a few guys on that list that no one expected to leave early.  And when they announced in March or April they were leaving it was too late at that point to get involved with anyone else.  Then you have another guy like DC on the team who has been injured.  That's another scholarship that's basically been non-productive.

Did we miss on some kids.  Absolutely.  But so did every other school in the country.  Once we get back to 13 scholarships and stop losing kids unexpectedly, there is no reason Cuse won't be back in business.  No matter who the coach is.
