The erosion of talent is remarkable, and it has nothing to do with sanctions.
So you have interviewed all the remarkable talent that did not arrive and confirmed this?
Yes, all of them.
First, I implied the drop in talent on the roster is remarkable, not the talent level of the missed recruits. This staff hasn’t even tried to recruit remarkable talent over past two years, well except for Maxey which was a 3 stooges act with Jank playing Moe Howard.
To address your question. it is common sense that major D1 college basketball recruits would see 11 scholarship players instead of 13 as a great opportunity to play immediately. No recruit is going to turndown a school they like because the 12th and 13th guys on the roster are not scholarship level talents. 95% of the good teams in college basketball play 7-9 guys in the regular rotation. The back end of the roster only sees the floor in blowouts. .
