There are a few things where you can hold question marks to this coaching staff. Identifying and recruiting talent is not one of them. I have faith they will round out a very solid class before next season...
Then development seems to be an issue.
It's like owning a Ferrari and only driving 55.
I see depth as more of our issue. Take a look at what we expected to start the season with. Augustin, Bogues, Harris, & TJ.
That's 4 all-conference guys, the oldest of which was a JUCO transfer when Keller & Co got ahold of him. Other's were Sophomores/Freshmen. And TJ, Kevon, & Shannon might be all timers for our program.
On the other end, we've seen Mitch & Oddyst play better every game. Bain has taken good strides this year on Defense.
We've got question marks on actual improvement on Sammi, John, Gru, Fitz, & Jock. Fitz was a grad transfer, so harder for him to take steps forward. With Sammi, John, & Jock, injuries have gotten in the way of a true evaluation of career improvements so far. Gru, IMO, is what he is. A good team guy.
Lack of depth is hurting this team pretty badly right now. Two all-conference guys are unavailable/gone. Missing a true PG.
We need to do a better job of deploying the talent we have, but hard to lose that much talent, especially when it includes your lane defender and your best PG.
