Agree. Auburns program was in shambles and their roster was a total disaster.
Grant didn't leave a ton of great players but he left a program that wasn't totally gutted out like Barbee did.

Absolutely, Grant's problem was that he was consistently NIT level talent (and results) but certainly not a disaster.
I'd grade Avery Johnson very well so far since he's infused a ton of energy and interest into the program and his teams have probably punched a bit above their weight for both of his seasons.
The real key is that he seems to be doing what Grant never could: bring in the type talent that can turn 18-12 NIT teams into a Top25 one.
The grade is really incomplete though since it'll be the next two seasons that reveal what he's going to do with some legit talent.
