Message: [QUOTE="PAHusky, post: 2451801, member: 3807"] Did it take KO by surprise when Brimah and Facey graduated? Name the last decent big man KO recruited that doesn't have multiple felonies to his name. There's frustration with the play of the bigs now because KO's lack of recruiting success in the frontcourt is an issue almost every game. As a caveat - I'd like nothing better for this team to go undefeated the rest of the way and for KO to coach here in perpetuity as long as he's winning. I admire the optimism in those I disagree with. However, I see the same issues that he's had with his teams over and over since the best college bball player I've seen since Kemba. They're constantly unprepared. Our best half of bball this season was in a loss to the only ranked team we've played. We've gone to OT with mid majors twice - at home - and we got our doors blown off by an at best above average Arkansas team. I love a lot of these players - kids like CV especially - but for some on this board to act like there are no worrying trends that keep reappearing year after year during KO's tenure is delusional at best. P.S. the argument "but X team struggled with the bad Y team!" is pathetic whataboutism. Every team has off nights and struggles with cupcakes. Calhoun is the best college bball coach of all time and it happened to his teams. But this isn't a one off occurrence - this team has laid stinkers multiple times already this year against what are inferior opponents talent wise. Big difference [/QUOTE]
