This will be the test for KA. Can he recruit.
I'm fully realistic that 1 year is not enough time. In my own mind, I have always put the top in state kids as KA's litmus test. If he lands Tatum, Cook & Porter, I'll say it was a smart hire. If he can't seal the borders at all with these top guys, well I'll figure that out at the time.

quote:LOL, if KA can pull off something no coach in our history has achieved, you will consider it a success? When in CBB history has any school sealed a border? Definitely not Mizzou, I can think of 4 elite players that stayed - Peeler, Sundvold, Stipo, the one Rush brother. Could have missed some right now though. Everybody else from Bill Bradley and Jo Jo White to recently with Beal and Otto, have gone somewhere else. KA has a lot to prove but pulling that tri fecta is not a good base line. If he gets 1 that will be success, 2 would be awesome, if he gets all 3 he will have a statue outside the arena someday.

I agree. But the players must respect their coach. If he is having troubles with his team not respecting him and the coaching staff that is a problem. That will lead to recruiting problems. KA needs his players. If that means he processes more than normal so be it. I believe it will be a 3 to 4 year process. It should get a little better each year.
