Message: [QUOTE="HuskiesAllDay, post: 2224673, member: 3494"] I think the problem is that we don't have a system, and/or say we have a certain system when in reality we are doing the exact opposite. How can you recruit the "right" players to fit a system that doesn't actually exist? We market ourselves/ have a perception of running a "position less", free flowing, nba, fast paced style. In theory Facey, Brimah, Durmah etc would be perfect fits due to their length, speed, and athleticism etc. Except that isn't at all how we actually play. The reality is that we play a slow paced offense with three guys standing behind the 3 point line pounding the ball into submission with occasional half-a** screen attempts.. This system requires a lot of shooters (which we never actually seem to try to recruit). And would be best used with a big man down low who has post moves so we can feed it into him and then he can kick it out to said 3 guys standing behind the 3 point line (which we rarely recruit, although Carlton is a nice step in the right direction). So we either need to acknowledge the system that we actually run and then recruit those types of players. Or recruit guys that fit this hypothetical system that we say we run, and then actually play that way. But when you tell recruits you are going to play a certain style and then do the exact opposite, well its no wonder they might want to leave. [/QUOTE]
