[QUOTE="SescIllini, post: 1374305, member: 603681"] Self inherited a talented roster from a coach that went to the NBA. Weber recruited a talented roster from a coach that went to a Blue Blood program. BU inherited a team from a coach that was fired and now coaches at Akron. See the trend. The players BU inherited had good rankings but many lacked 2-3 tools that make you successful at the college level. JCL was a good shooter but was a terrible defender and his ball skills just weren't there. DJ low motor and once again lacked the tools and work ethic. AJ is becoming a better all around player but still can't compete with most BIG players at the wing. Leron is very undersized and either needs to paired with a true big center type or be played more at the SF. Finke is inconsistent and his deficiencies on defense/rebounding would not be so glaring if we had the true center. I'm not concerned about our freshmen, they will be BIG players as they develop.
