This isn't fricking football. You get 13 guys on a roster, and chances are just 8 or 9 of them are ready/able to contribute. If one of the best 2 or 3 of them gets hurt, there isn't a team in the country that wouldn't feel it. Not even Duke and Kentucky can just plug and play if a starter goes down.

true but no one else has dealt with this exact problem and kept their job for 5 years. Grant inherited some talent from Gottfried yet consistently is losing two or three key contributors every off season and not because they are completing their eligibility. Green, Pollard, Lacey, Durant, Carter, Mitchell, Hankerson, Gueye, Pickett, Knox all left on bad terms with eligibility left. You can expect some attrition in the first few years but he constantly has attrition problems into his 5th year. We just ignore it and he has the good fortune of being the Bball coach while we are likely winning 3 of 4 in football.

Both incorrect and pointless to mention. If you expect that kind of production from our basketball team, I don't know what to tell you...

ETA: I guess it's not "incorrect", but it's 3 straight or 4 of 5 if they win this year.

There is SUCH a glorious long list I could make of players Gottfried recruited who left the program, this is nothing new.
