Message: [QUOTE="TheFarmFan, post: 4868902, member: 9403"] Though equally fair to say "toxic work ethic" was linked to the former players too. I think Barnes mismanaged her roster as a result of changes to the portal, recruiting over her own freshmen with transfers who were actually quite bad fits. I think she recognized this and tried to the right the ship, but the result of a shorter roster (which guarantees playing time) is the risk of injuries like this. Honestly though, not much different from what Geno faced last season, and no one thinks he has a "toxic environment." Watched Zona when they played Stanford and the players really seemed bought in. They were hustling like nobody's business for 40 minutes despite having a 7-deep rotation. They're really disruptive on defense, and just need better shooters to be a dangerous team. [/QUOTE]
