Message: [QUOTE="Walker11, post: 2055921, member: 380"] I don't think we have learned anything about KO. We already knew he was a tremendous motivator. We knew he coaches a good to excellent defense. These are great traits for a coach to have. We also knew he has coached subpar offensive teams. The decimated roster excuses the performance for this year but our perception of his offensive scheme shouldn't have changed. Player development, especially with bigs, is a mild concern. Facey has busted out which is a good omen and we are still early in KO's tenure but I'm not convinced yet. Recruiting is meh right now. I think its disingenuous to say that we have a great 2017 class with three 4* recruits. Carlton and Polley are 3*s. A site or two may have them as a 4* but the majority have them as 3* and they are still consensus 3*. TBD on 2018. I'm also not big on blaming the sanctions. They have hurt, no doubt. But the roster has been the most talented on paper every year in the AAC. Ollie is a smart guy and a good coach so I'd be surprised if he hasn't improved, but there is no strong evidence. [/QUOTE]
