Message: [QUOTE="2Infinity, post: 2793123, member: 242"] It's nice to think that the ramifications of a prior leaders actions end right when they leave, but that's not quite the case. There is no way that anyone can say what he would have done with certainty unless they knew his plans before he even arrived. A winning team and personal development can influence a kids decision and those were not so great when he was here. Very happy for him to have made it to the league through his alternative route! As for JA...another ironclad statement...but you missed my point. Had JA developed as he thought he would have by the end of his junior season, I have little doubt that he would have been off to the league. The kid's got enormous talent...but he needs to be developed. The prior coaching did not contribute much on that front, plain and simple. I'm glad he saw the light with Hurley and decided not to give up his eligibility for an outside shot at the league, the G or overseas. [/QUOTE]
