[QUOTE="SescIllini, post: 1316100, member: 603681"] Just a couple of comments, some are worthy of "Captain Obvious" responses but please refrain. The last or lost decade is because we didn't get our primary or secondary recruiting options and landed the tertiary (at best) option. I'm seeing this in our pursuit of a transfer big man. We landed players with good rankings but with major flaws (shooting, dribbling, toughness, athleticism, BB IQ) hoping these tools would develop. I think BU will look at tools and fit than rankings. The recruitment of more all around players Smith and Alstork are good examples. I'm being patient, I think Groce did a good job of pulling out transfers for the most part. So I think this new staff will continue to land good players including big men. Part of me also feels this is the year we just "eat" due to a new staff and late in the game recruiting. [/QUOTE]
