Respectfully disagree. If it’s costing us a big that we took from 40th in his recruiting class to second team all American, who appears to have genuinely loved the school, his teammates, and coaches, but will go elsewhere because a widget spit out a lowball projection (which can hardly be considered realistic due to the lack of fans last year), then we suck at this. This is simply one you can’t lose. Garcia—fine, he never played here. Brad, Josh, etc. need to get this done.
As an aside, this is why a second round loss to a mediocre Loyola team is so devastating—we had generational talent on that squad and the region got blown up. It was there for the taking and this off-season has only emphasized how difficult roster construction will be in the new Wild West of recruiting and transfers. The failure to capitalize with what I considered to be an all time regular reason squad is nauseating.
