Because BJ left and Wade, Scott and Kikko just aren't very good.

We have to keep them around for the APR though because Pelphrey hardly had any players graduate.

Mike adressed our lack of size with last year's class, and this year he's getting a really good point guard. Mike's been successful at every stop once he got all the pieces in place.

I know a lot of people including myself thought that BJ leaving would be addition by subtraction but that's not the case. We could really use a guy with his talents right now because we don't have anyone outside of Fred Gulley that drives to the basket consistently. Qualls does it every once in a while but usually throws up some garbage once he gets close and normally turns it over.

At what point is someone going to address player development. Look at the upperclassmen.
Madden was a 4 or 5 star.
Scott was a 4 star.
I want to say Wade was a 4 star.
Can we honestly say they have gotten better? You could argue that Madden has this year but I wouldn't say it's the yearly progress you would have expected. Mwade and Scott have regressed if anything. I hope I'm not the only person that can see this. And looking at this year's class it is hard to believe we have a lot of help coming from two 3* and a 2*.
Face it people, our program is pretty friggin bad.
Mike shouldn't have to shoulder all the blame, but I certainly don't think we've made a major improvement either..... and that is on him.
