Message: [QUOTE="Tenspro2002, post: 2569377, member: 889"] Brilliant post. About 6 years ago I posted that our consistent cycles of success had started to erode, and that boded ill for the future of the program. The 2011, and then 2014 championships papered over a lot of underlying issues. As expected, that post was not received well, but as you describe, that downward trends has continued and exacerbated. We used to have not just great, but dominant teams, legitimate championship contenders, every 2-3 years, as a recruiting class headlined by one or two studs developed. Think 94-96 with the Marshalls and Ray, 97-99 with Rip and Khalid, 02-04 with Emeka and Ben, 05-06 with Rudy and Marcus Williams, 07-09 with AJP and Thabeet. We haven't gotten that stability and development at all in the latter JC years and certainly under KO. With KO, the issues are in that he has no idea how to identify talent and intangibles, and no idea how to get his own recruits to buy in and instill toughness. [/QUOTE]
