You're assuming something I'm not saying. I'm merely saying the stats of the confirmed/rumored transfers are worse than TSJ's and Domasks were. I'm not saying they can't or won't improve or that the coaches are making poor decisions. Lots of our recruits have improved. TSJ and Domask improved (well, Domask didn't statistically, but that's probably due to our team defense metrics pulling his numbers down as well as higher level of competition).
I just think there's a bit of false equality between the incoming transfers and pre-Illinois TSJ/Domask based on stats. The incoming ones have further to go statistically to be at their level. And TSJ's big statistical improvement was in his second year, so it's false to imply we can count on a big jump in the first year for incoming transfers.
Well, to be fair here, the two guys we landed are said to be back-of-the-rotation guys. So of course we're not expecting Jake Davis & Tre White to be All Americans next year. Who said that? Not me.
