Finding players that fit and contribute immediately. 20 yrs ago, you could expect most players to enter the program, learn the system, and contribute for two -three years. The life cycle was 4-5 for most, 3 for elite superstars. In today's era, kids demand to come in and play immediately. In some cases, this doesn't even work for a player like Luke Jackson (think of how different we'd look with him holding down a forward slot. Think this concept hit Ollie hard last couple of years. Think is is why he's committing to lesser players that want to be part of the program. Flash back to last April, there were concerns if we could dress 10 to scrimmage. Will be the first to say replace Ollie when players tune him out or he gets truly out coached. Eyeball test hadn't proved that last year. Side note: where was Williams yesterday? [/QUOTE]
