Message: [QUOTE="intlzncster, post: 3093608, member: 56"] I mean, player development was one of the top reasons I was ready to move on. Not everyone pans out, true. Some guys are over-hyped*. But guys were just not getting better at an appreciable rate. The guys who left did so because they were not developing, and there wasn't a quality plan in place to do so. Even mentioned in the media. Now you could argue it's recruiting the wrong guys that got KO fired. But a number of players should have improved much more significantly than they did. *[I]Hazleton was overrated coming in, as a number of posters were aware of at the time. He got into the AA game based on politics alone. You can see that by how he ended up at URI. Got no real high major offers. I personally do not think Facey was one of those guys. He had all the tools to be far better than he was. Not 1st team All conference, but a much more effective player than he ever became.[/I] [/QUOTE]
