[QUOTE="Obelix, post: 1176133, member: 7292"] There is a great fallacy in the notion that you can consistently build a winning program by "recruiting underrated players that go through walls" or be able to consistently identify diamonds in the rough. The problem is exactly that, while it is very easy to identify those diamonds in the rough AFTER their college career or even during some part of their career, it is not a good bet that you will be able to identify them a priori. Same is true for Groce. Either he will start filling the gaps at key positions (PG or C) by successfully recruiting top-100 players (even at the level of our more talented wing players, e.g., Nunn, Hill, JCL - all top-100), something that he has not been able to successfully do for 4 years now, or he will fail. There is not doubt about that. Groce needs the same talent at positions of need, his biggest fault has been positional balance in recruiting, much more than his overall recruiting performance or coaching deficiencies. [/QUOTE]
