What does depth have to do with my comment? We had depth a few years back.
Lon's career is full of ups and downs. And not the normal kind. BIG swings. Constant roster turnover. No continuity over 2/3/4 year periods.
I have no doubt if Lon sticks around he'll have better years. I also have no doubt if he sticks around we'll have some more pitiful ones.
I'd be curious if you could give many examples of teams who don't have lots of roster turnover at the Power 5 level. The blue chip teams lose guys to the pros, other schools lose them to transfers. We probably have more guys stay three or four years than most programs these days. ISU is transfer U, Texas always has new guys, Tech has a new team this year, OSU speaks for itself. KSU has a great senior class, but they are the one exception I see in our league.
I also wonder ... do all the people who cry nepotism about Lon hiring his son have the same complaint about Kelvin and Kellen? Or is that one of those flexible principles that only gets brought up when things are going south? Something tells me people aren't complaining about it as it applies to the softball program.
And I'm pretty bummed to already find out that next year's class isn't going to pan out. At least give people a heads up that a spoiler alert is coming!
