Any 5'7" , unranked, unsigned guards out there Jank should target?

Waste three scholarships on three players who would be amongst the top 5 most talented players on our roster? I don't get that logic at all. Build a roster full of talented players and get rid of the dead weight. That's hardly a waste. To me if it's NOT done then he should be gone. He has absolutely not proven that taking guys who can play right away (mainly HS kids) is a strong point. Of the 3 freshmen he brought in this year, only 1 can contribute, and the jury is out if the others can contribute two years from now. Taking talented transfers who WANT TO COME HERE is a lucky break to correct that vs being shown the door.

I'm not arguing that point at all.
But if you think SMU as a program is to the point where a top 150 player is going to transfer in and sit on the bench... we aren't there yet.

You take all three AND recruit your impact guard. Why does it have to be one or the other? Get rid of the dead weight. Strongly disagree that we can be competitive next year as you line things out. Hope I'm wrong, but NOTHING from White, Douglas or Young makes me think they can contribute next year. Jank is killing this program, that was on strong display last night and just makes me sick.
Anyway, doesn't matter, he screwed up the transfers so we'll keep waiting for that high impact guard to save us...

Agree completely................the re-seat fiasco showed just how out of touch with reality Hart is and
did more than anything else in my 50+ years of supporting the Ponies to dim my enthusiasm .
