Here’s what we need to remember about the AAC. KO wins a national championship in 2014 along with the UCONN women. We’ve done that twice. There was a huge parade (I attended) and it was great. That was the part where I envisioned a line of top recruits outside KO’s office door elbowing their way into our program, especially since our profile couldn’t be better coming off 2011. 
Instead we pulled in the kind of talent that has led to our current sad state. Even with the negativity regarding APR and Calhoun’s departure we should have gotten better players. We could not and still can’t get a big man to come here. I can’t even guess how many quality recruits the AAC has killed off from coming here and the players will never say that. These kids don’t want to play Tulsa and East Carolina and have a crappy schedule.  The Memphis class with Hardaway is an outlier. It really is that simple. 
We should know in 6-12 months if this juices our recruiting. You simply cannot win without players, and winning cures all ills unless your in the AAC.
