Its been discussed ad nauseam, but I really think the Larrier and Gilbert injuries killed it for Ollie.  Things fell apart from there of what should've been another great season.  He could not handle the adversity as he was accustom to things falling in place for him up until then.  His personal life issues affected the culture and decent recruits jumped ship.  It was a Greek tragedy.

In terms of player development, Whaley is crushing it now that he's seeing the light of day.  He didn't even get a chance last year and perhaps that's due to Danny turning him around.  JC, TP, Serah Williams, AG and early season CV did not develop like we all expected them to.  But they are fighters, so Ollie at least instilled that in them, if nothing more.

One thing is for certain, Dan Hurley can handle adversity much better than KO.  To keep these kids fighting and integrate the youth movement after TP, AA & Serah Williams's injuries along with JC's & AG's regressions is impressive.
