You can blame Mike for some of the lack of talent, but he has had APR issues to deal with, along with our two best players leaving early last year
He inherited a mess. 10+ years of a mess. Lost scholarships because of previous coaches. Stuck with players previous coaches recruited.
Those players graduate this year. While not helping the program with wins, they help get our APR score up high enough to afford Mike the opportunity in the future to show guys the door if they're not producing.
As a comparison....Bret just showed Turner, Hartsfield, and 3 others the door just a month ago. Mike hasn't been able to do that because of our APR score. Our next punishment would be being docked practice time.
Look, our program was literally in the shitter when Mike got here. While you only see what you see on television during games, there is much more to this program right now than wins and losses. The team GPA is the highest it's ever been. We are on pace to graduate Wade, Haydar, Gulley, Scott, and Clarke this year. Those are great bonuses towards our APR that can afford Mike to make roster movements going forward he cannot make right now.

I get all that
So why cant even these decent to below average players be coached enough to make a few more baskets at Georgia?
That game made me think Mike lacked the killer instinct

You're wasting your time. He doesn't get it and I don't think he wants to. You can't discuss the APR problems with someone that posts

I understand that you and others on here, truly believe that the APR issue is the one of the main reasons we suck at basketball.
Well sir, this APR issue is not unique to just Arkansas and I also hate to tell you, other programs have problems too, but they seem to win.
Kentucky's roster turns over just about every year, but they seem to win at a much higher rate than the Hogs.
I appreciate the fact that some find an excuse, grab a hold of it, and recite it every night before bed, just so they can wake up and tell themselves "we'll be ok, just wait until next year, we'll be better then".
Like I tell people everyday
No excuses, just solutions.
