Message: [QUOTE="Sea Goat, post: 2511615, member: 3716"] Admittedly it is hard to do. Cavanaugh came from one of the Cadillac HE programs. Those guys had the luxury of "complete packages" seeking them out rather than the other way around. I am not sure Cavanaugh has the the right attitude to develop less then stellar recruits. Look at what JC did with hoops. He took some second rate recruits and molded them into solid, competitive and championship players. Cavanaugh has yet to show me that he can improve a "diamond in the rough" like JC did with hoops. I think he is fundamentally sound and is a pretty good recruiter. But, taking a three star kid and making him a HE star hasn't happened yet. One thing is absolutely necessary though - he has to toughen up the back line. Our defense is soft. I don't see any opposition forwards looking over theirs shoulders when going into the corners. We need some bangers and playmakers back there and we don't have them. [/QUOTE]
