I am not wrong until empirically proven otherwise.
You are wrong.....because there is no deadline to prove anything. You have decided in a warped mind, that if something is not raced to completion, that it is correct or better.....
There is no evidence that players hitting the portal this week are not as good as those 2 or 3 weeks ago.
There is also no evidence that states that because something isn't reported, that nothing is being looked at.
Fans only base recruiting success on what players you are hearing about or told to pay attention to. There honestly isn't enough manpower to determine with 1500 kids in the portal, which ones are more important than another. There's no official visits or kids arriving on campus anywhere, and it's only based on reports on here, elsewhere or on Twitter, from 2nd or 3rd hand sources.
And I am watching ALL B1G teams and there is nothing drastically different that is solved in mid April, that impacts your roster in November. There is no evidence other than you making some declaration that the players coming in, will not be better than whoever left.....
How are your determining that.....???....by PPG.....By HS ranking.....By the program the player is coming from......by how many other schools are recruiting him???
We have Cliff to replace Myles.....we now need to replace Cliffs 1st year production....I feel certain that by the middle of next year, Cliff, injury-free of course, will be very much a factor on both ends of the floor.
We have Jaden Jones to replace Jacob Young.....not an easy item to ask a true frosh to replace a 5th year senior by himself, but confident Jones plus the remaining guards can make up the scoring difference, minus Youngs 3 turnovers a game and shoot first mentality.
We need to replace our slumping and since transferred Montez Mathis, who had big games and big moments.....But also who went 1 for his last 20 from 3 point range in the last month and a half, before hitting 2 for 2 vs Houston....he has the widest difference in PPG from home to away of anyone on the roster. He was a factor at home, but wildly inconsistent to not a factor on the road.
Mathis at Home (10.3 PPG at the RAC)
Mathis on road 5.9 PPG away
Mathis shot 35.6% from 3 point range at home
Mathis shot 16.7% from 3 away from the RAC....
And then we have Doucoure, who could have been a valuable backup for Cliff, but had not panned out and graduated.
I am VERY, VERY confident that these gaps in the roster will be closed by the existing roster and newcomers.....and the goal is to be more consistent. And again, there is no BS deadline that says something has to be done by this date or that date....
