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.

Jacobs has improved the most of anyone. Coop and Randolph seem to have regressed

I agree that the development of our post players has been pretty bad which is why I think Pujol should be replaced, but our guard development has been solid outside of Cooper and you just can't fix his mental issues through coaching.

player development is definitely a problem, but I will continue strongly disagreeing with us having had a lot of offensive talent on grant's teams, not even close by division 1 standards. development is important, but we've been especially raw for years. we've had no knockdown shooter, still don't. no distributing point guard, still dont. no skilled post player, ditto. no slasher who can finish besides releford who's not even 6 feet tall. I mean, what else is there? we haven't had shite, which is all on grant. certain coaches would have been able to get more results on offense than grant, but even if we had coach k, we wouldn't get it done with this bunch. I strongly believe that. we've got a team of role players and no scorers. and we're still woefully undermanned in the front court.
