Huh? I did not make any prediction or assessment about the rest of the season. I have discussed the season and the games so far, and have also given my assessment about the state of recruiting in Underwood era so far. I am assuming the team on the court is final product? I have never said that, it is a big lie, especially considering that I have
said the exact opposite after the MVS game: "
I expect the team to improve, I would be surprised if they don't. "
I have said nothing about January because I usually comment on recruits I have actually seen on the AAU tour or HS games or have input from other coaches that I trust who have seen or coached them. And it is not just a quantity game in recruiting, I have never complained about "a big", we need talented frontcourt/inside players. The state of recruiting at UI (even with January that I am pretty sure not many have ever seen in games) is still not where it should be, or should have been so far in BU's tenure. Weak and empty fall recruiting classes (January did not sign yet) which are the cornerstones of recruiting, many misses (not only with top recruits), taking some wild shots and offers with recruits (even offering scholarships to players who end up walkons at other schools), running out of OVs, and many of BU's own recruits either leaving or not panning out so far. Based on what has actually happened, I do not think anyone with a straight face can say that recruiting has been going well so far, or that results on court so far have been good. And please don't start with projecting on future recruits, because I have made zero predictions on future recruiting classes.
The one who seems to be making unsubstantiated predictions is you, yet you accuse me of predictions/assessments based on little evidence. Next year and two years after that? Are you serious? We do not even know what the roster will look next year, you are projecting into 2021-22?
