Oooo ... the moaning

Frankly, when you are not recruiting/selecting/filling your Roster from strength, you do the best you can.  Late late April last year, having lost (inexplicably) Enoch, Durham, Vance, it was very hard to get a quality Fr and then a quality GRTransfer.  Bringing in miracles aren't happening when you are off the grid of March Madness several years in a row.  Dave O and AA were not of the level of Top 8 guys from UConn the past 25 years.  And then ... Hurley is supposed to grab better as he arrives - with weeks to gather?  I don't think matching Fordham's AA stats to Duquesne's TS is fair; it is an evaluation.  That means you really need to know the kid and understand the fit.  There is the possible explanation that Bob Hurley Sr conveyed to our Hurley that Smith could fit.  (no denigration to Anderson intended)  Our hope for bigs ... has to be growth in Whaley, Carlton, Diarra, Polley and maybe some boost from Yakwe.

Win.  Build a Brand back up.  March Madness.  Then, from strength, we will approach the years where we got NBA quality guys.
