Maybe. Hopefully. While overall I’m very pleased with the Mora era to date, we have not yet learned if the players he is recruiting out of high school, with time, will be as good as we want/need them to be.
That’s not a knock — it’s just something that requires more time to reach a conclusion. Our lineup is overwhelmingly a few kids left from the prior regime and a lot of transfers we’ve brought in.

Bottom line.. The bar is set higher to get meaningful playing time... we needed that... Way too much learning on the job going on.. lead to a ton of losses... Hopefully we can keep churning the roster... the cream eventually rises to the top...

In today's transfer portal world, a kid needs to have a plan to seeing the field. Those who don't will transfer. Those who buy in to development and waiting their turn will require trust in (a) the staff not being replaced or leaving (b) not being over recruited.

For recruits it's like wine: a combination of terroir (recruit's region/state and level (big school Texas v. Class M CT), the initial quality of grape (base talent and athleticism of the incoming recruit), and the treatment and time (coaching, strength and conditioning training, time to bulk up and practice against men)
