Where are we on the recruiting trail....

If he let all these defections and de-commits happen without a solid plan on how to rectify the situation, and if our 2018 recruiting doesn't start showing promise (should be getting some high-ranked commits by the fall), I'd be OK letting him go as early as next March, maybe even a midseason announcement if the season is effectively over by January.
I'm sure most of us plan for the unknown.
 
I agree with most of your post but why do you conclude that the firing of Miller had no impact?
For all we know there might have been a tension for part if not all of the season between Miller and KO and that tension not only impacted MAL but the other recruits at PSA if Miller was a major person involved in recruiting them.
I wouldn't say "no impact" but I think citing Miller by players or their parents, we're more of a way to provide cover. We'll never know the real reason, but when that many people bail at once you have to wonder. I think ranking that driving force, I would cite a losing season at the top. Followed by a failure to see eye to eye between coach Ollie and the others. Now, I would love to know the specifics concerning the communication breakdown between Ollie and the players, but I don't think we'll ever know that exactly. I think it's convenient for them to say they wanted more playing time, or wanted to be the focus of the offense or whatever but I really think the losing season, and some serious communication breakdown between the coach and players contributed mostly. The only thing I feel confident saying is Miller was not the driving force (or even an influential force) of the departure of any of them.
