Message: [QUOTE="djct1999, post: 2174835, member: 2281"] And Diarra was going to right the ship? Please. The 9 scholarships is concerning, but that has nothing to do with spring recruiting. It is unrealistic to think that a coach can immediately rebuild after unexpectedly losing 4 key players after a season. 2017 is what it is. Its clear that the staff is focusing on 2018 and beyond. Because of this, you can choose to spin the Diarra situation as bad optics for the program. In reality, not only would Diarra have had little to no impact on the 2017 season, but also 2018 and beyond. In fact, there are few if any non-commits or 5th years on the market that would drastically change 2017 (mis)fortunes. [/QUOTE]
