One other thing I would recommend is not pulling the fire alarm too quickly. There is going to be more volatility year to year and even month to month with the transfer portal, and fans just have to deal with it. Kansas, UConn and UNC are learning what happens when your transfers underperform or simply do not get on the same page. It will happen next year with other teams.
Traditional recruiting is becoming increasingly irrelevant. As good as McNeeley is, he has too many games like yesterday's. Coaches need to make tough decisions about whether it is better to tie up a sizable chunk of NIL in a one-and-done frosh that is used to dominating one-on-one against inferior competition, or get a 21 year old that is polished at the college game but is just a hair below what is needed athletically to be a first round NBA lock. These are not easy decisions, and you can see why so many old-time coaches are calling it quits.
