That's what I am saying and what many others are saying. The current recruiting strategy hasn't panned out and when Trent was hired the thing he championed was that he can recruit that types of players he couldn't at Stanford.
O'Bryant is a start but this is season 4, the start should have happened in 09. And of course O'Bryant hasn't even stepped on the floor yet.
How can you say the start should have begun in 2009 when basically every player for the next class was already signed? He made a decision to save scholarships. It may have been a bad choice, but it's not like he had many other options when he first arrived. I certainly think next year must change, but unless you're in this area of the country already, you're not recruiting the same players and you don't have the relationships established. College basketball recruiting is so different from football that unless you have a homegrown talent or you choose to go the JUCO route, you'll have a tough time leaving the state to sign a top player.
