Calhoun still needs to answer for the 2012 season. Aside from 04 when have we been more loaded?
JC last three Big East seasons
2009-2010
Were 7-11
With a starting lineup
Of Kemba
Dyson
AO
Gavin Edwards
Stanley Robinson
and Bench that included 2 7 footers
Early NIT exit.
2010-11
9-9 we finished 9th remember.
2012-13
8-10
That last year he had Bazz,Boat,AO,Roscoe, Lamb,Giffey,and DD and I almost forgot Drummond.
What would KO have done with those guys ?
We’ve never approached a lineup like that again.
He had lost something and missed much time with a variety of illness.. We wee under constant negative media scrutiny an$ our league was destroyed around us
Although if he stayed that might of helped that cause.
Recruiting was tougher every year. Even on that loaded team many of those guys were second choices and de-commits .
If JC stayed he would probably not still be alive stress kills.
I never realized at the time how much JC ‘s legacy was enhanced by Kemba in 2011
an early exit from the Big East a low seed and he goes out on a pretty negative terms.
