Go look at LSU, A&M, MSU, AU's classes.

If you're worried about what LSU, A&M, and MSU are doing, just look at their coaches. None of those guys can coach their way out of a wet paper bag! Plus, there is plenty of shadiness concerning their recruiting. AU has a good coach and great recruiter in Pearl. They are going to have some success in the coming years, and then it will all come crashing down.

I'm not saying they should be, but the football miss comparison doesn't really hold water

I'm not trying to crap on the football program and understand it's an apple to oranges comparison, but they do have misses as well. The point was it is easier to cover those up in the eyes of the fans when you have ~25 new guys coming in each year, whereas basketball has 2-5 new guys coming in each year.

They just aren't guys who take you to the sweet 16, most likely

I respectively disagree. I think with our current construction, if we can stay healthy, we have a legitimate shot of making the sweet 16 next year. Maybe the fans will take notice then. At least I will have the satisfaction of knowing I have been rooting them on through the thick and thin!

Also, thanks for engaging in some discussion about the basketball team! That shows that we are starting the make some strides. In the past, no one would even talk about them!
