Message: [QUOTE="Rb335, post: 3778788, member: 2685"] I think NDs recruiting in the 2017/2018 classes is responsible for a large portion of their issues. Senior Vaughn has been injured, and was ranked #56 out of high school. Juniors Prohaska and Gilbert are solid role players, but not players you build a team around. They lack experienced leadership and don't have players who know how to win. Transfers Mabrey and Walker have been solid players, but when you learn to play college basketball with bad habits, those habits are hard to break. To me, the rebuild starts with Peoples, Westbeld, and Brunelle. They are all talented and highly ranked, and need to become the leaders on this team. Then you follow them up with the other solid freshman, and good recruits coming in next year. This season doesn't look like it's going to be incredibly successful, so if I was Ivey, I'd start to build the chemistry of next year's core. [/QUOTE]
