Message: [QUOTE="7774, post: 1958388, member: 2419"] Great post. In my head I've always thought the most realistic point where we can start to be really good again is when this this year's freshman class become upperclassmen, so I haven't had a great feeling about next year, but hopefully all the playing time these guys are getting will push the timetable forward a bit. It's hard to know what next year will be with 3 guys coming off season long injuries, but I know it's going to be tough if we don't have some guys who can rebound and play post defense without fouling. I don't care if Enoch ever develops more offense, because we've already proven many times over we don't need post offense to be elite. He should shoot 0 shots this offseason, and spend 100% of his time on defense and rebounding. I really wish we had never spent any time recruiting Richards and Bamba, and instead devoted all that time to the next tier of big men. I know that's not a realistic option because those guys are in our geographic area and it sends a terrible message if we don't recruit them, but there was just such a small chance we would get either of them. Even with Calhoun, we really never got big men on that level outside of special circumstances with guys like Drummond and Villaneuva. [/QUOTE]
