Message: [QUOTE="husky429, post: 5174074, member: 6696"] I think we recruited a few too many guys we thought Hurley could coach up on defense and also just had some bad luck with recruiting misses. I doubt that anyone thought with Solo's athleticism and length he would be a bottom 1% defender in all of high-major ball that can't rebound. He just isn't learning to process fast enough. I don't think anyone realized Mahaney we were recruiting Joey California 2.0 when we signed Mahaney. No one thought Samson would be a generationally bad rebounder for a 6'11 athletic freak. And then, of course, Stewart and Ross are improving, but just not fast enough to make up for these other failures. Both are probably behind where we thought they'd be. We play a defense that requires an extremely high IQ. We don't have the personnel. [/QUOTE]
