re: Anthony Grant's demeanor

It all leads back to Grant, but I'm not sure what you're seeing that I'm not. We have had a lot of great defensive players, but offensively we haven't had that much talent.

I think we have had talent...but none of them were developed well enough by the time they reached campus to overcome our staff's ineptitude. Even mediocre players should improve a little over the course of their time in the program. Cooper has gotten worse. Randolph is still really inconsistent. Lacey didn't get much better. Jacobs is still the same guy he was as a freshman, but 30 pounds lighter. Moussa never improved.

Carl and Retin are the only two guys I have seen significant improvement out of, and Carl just went from a waste of space to occasionally doing a serviceable job of being tall. He's still one of the worst bigs I have ever seen in a college basketball game.

ETA: And Releford has become a much better 3pt shooter.
