A better chance!

I appreciate your positive attitude, but remember, we had 3 burger boys on the team this past year and ended up 13-18. The key is not the most highly rated recruits but finding guys that can mesh.

Personally, if the Terrance boys are considered 1-and-done (I don't know much about them), then I'd rather go with a few guys who will be here 2 or 3 years at least. A couple of 1 year players and we could be back in this situation next year. We need some stability at this point.

Excellent point Big Old Booger.....It's kinda a catch 22 situation. I might be tempted to take them without much issue, despite our problems this year, given that we need to avert a disaster next year - if they are willing to pledge they will play lights out and be coachable. Any evidence to the contrary, I'd go in a different direction.

SoonerNorm hit the nail on the head as well. You have to recruit different types of players. You need the elite talent along with some good, solid, players without big egos who have a lot to prove with a big chip on their shoulder....

If you are satisfied with a sweet sixteen win occasionally, you can get by recruting good but not great players. But, you won't find many NC teams in the last 20 years that didn't have one or two elite players on the roster. The key is, recruiting the right elite as well as role players who are willing to put the team first. That is what I think Jeff will pay a lot more attention to in the future.

I agree with this.

While Kelvin didn't reach the success that Tubbs had during his run from 84-90 he still did some good things as head coach. I'm content with a final 4 every 15 years or so and consistently reaching the NCAA tourney with elite 8 and sweet 16 appearances. I can live with that. I don't like the first round losses, but they are expected when you are the lower seeded team.

If Jeff were to bring an NC in the next 5 years, then I may admit I can even live with a 13-18 season every once in a while.

I agree with you about those scoring droughts BOB. Those were dreadful to sit through. Looks like we can agree on something. BOOMER SOONER BABY!!!:clap

What makes you think the evaluation of said burger boys has changed from last year to this year? The same people are doing the evaluating.

I thought a coach resigned??? Hmmm...
