Message: [QUOTE="ToolzieFan, post: 5259862, member: 7018"] Your praise of Martin is on point, but I’d push back against the negativity towards “the kids we are recruiting now.” Ball, Stewart, and Ross are all coming back for their third seasons when it would have been easy for them to transfer out for money, a clearer path towards playing time, or any sort of empty promise. Castle was drafted higher than his preseason draft projections, partly because he worked hard to become an elite college defender. We don’t know why all of our transfers didn’t stay, but it’s reasonable to think that some of them weren’t going to crack the rotation. Maybe the kids who we recruit and don’t come here are all about playing in the NBA on day 1. We tend to get some guys who are willing to put in the work, though. [/QUOTE]
