We have zero restrictions on recruiting AAU kids, every single player on our roster played AAU, that has nothing to do with it.
You spouted the same shite before the season. I didn't say we don't have or recruit AAU players....we just don't play the game like every other major college.
And if I'm wrong, then Fox definitely needs to go, because he hasn't done shite on the recruiting trail in GA.
Also, this team is not even close to being tournament worthy. Take off the red and black blinders and you'll see that. We've only beaten 1 team in the top 50 RPI and have lost to 5 others. Our RPI is currently 72....keep in mind there are only like 34 open spots after conference champions. 1 week ago we were struggling to keep a spot in the NIT....

Joe Lunardi, who ya know, projects the bracket for his living, has us in the first 8 teams outside of the bracket.
There are now 68 teams in the bracket, Louisville and SMU both aren't in the tourney this year, so that's 70. And then there are about 10 teams who will win their conference tourney who are outside the top 70 of RPI. So that puts it back at 60. So if you solely use RPI, we are 12 teams out. That's relatively close.

Actually we havent beaten a single team in the RPI top 50. South Carolina is #51. We are 0-5 vs 1-50, with only one of those games being decided by less than 10 points. We probably wouldnt even be in the running for a last 4 in birth if it wasnt for SMU and Louisville being on probation.

Crump and Harris are 2 top-100 guards from South GA who are big in the AAU game. How did we land them?
I like Fox, think he is a good coach but definitely has his weak spots. Not necessarily trying to defend him, just being honest.
So if we recruit all AAU players but don't "play the AAU game" like you said, are you implying we are the only team not breaking the rules in recruiting? I don't fully understand your claim.
And I agree our resume is not a tourney team, we had opportunities and didn't capitalize on them. But to sound like we are nowhere near isn't true either. A 70 RPI is a respectable team. For example last year Ole Miss was at 57 and LSU at 65 RPI both got in. That's definitely on the low end, low odds of getting in but they did get a bid.
