Does it really change anything?

lets see if Kentucky can maintain it.  So, you aren't sure why and don't care why.  Just want something to biotch about.  Got it....nothing more to see here.

I thought voicing your displeasure with a poor recruiting class on a message board was somewhat the entire aspect of it?

Actually this class was ranked 30th by 247.

What is a little scary about that is that it is also the average rank for the classes of guys that weren't talented enough to make CBB's system work here this past season.

As a matter of fact, a team full of guys with the average recruiting class rank of 30 just turned in the worst season since WWII.


I am not so sure that it was that a lot of them weren't talented, but that their talents were unsuited for the system that he wants to install.  In other words thru no fault of their own they were put somewhat of a postion to not succeed.You can't ask a dog to be a cat and expect much in the way of results.

I have always thought that if a head coach starts from scratch you should allow him 5 years to get up to 100 per cent speed with the players and the depth he needs.

There should be a  very noticeable improvement in year 4 and a seriously good team by year 4.  He should get at least as long as Anderson who, basically needs to only find 7 or 8 players.  Football, obviously, demands a lot more players than that.

This is just year one.  You have to be patient.  It is a process.  Stay calm.  he is going to get his chance to do this no matter what the fans think.  Enjoy the ride.

maybe for you, but I would rather do root-cause analysis of our misses in order to learn where success can be made next time.  Its the manager in me.

I think that Mike actually wound up at Florida, didn't he? Flipped a day or so before signing day??
