April recruiting

In defense, you never really know what you're getting or what's going to happen.

You never thought Kelly Witney was going to do what he did. You'd never expect Ish to actually get thrown off the team and then re-instated. Stuff happens.
Whoah!! When did Ish get kicked off the team?

I’d like to forget Jevon Thomas 😖 👎 Was really disappointed in Willard that he didn’t boot Thomas right after that ugly incident.

No thugs please, no matter how talented, and the guys we’re talking about aren’t/weren’t even that talented.
It's easier to be picky when you've had some success. When you're trying to win, sometimes you take risks you wouldn't ordinarily take and hope for the best.
 
what happened at Memphis with a lot of players from a #1 ranked class(Penny had 2 in 3 years) leaving? As well as a coach or two?

There is a little bit of a reality check for a few. Hot shots come in and find out that they still have to earn it (or not) and vets get recruited over. Recruitment is a tricky thing. There is a difficult balance among talent, alphas, role players, personalities, outside interests (including fans), NIL and egos. It is amazing when a group comes together as a team for each other and performs well on the court. Humility should be one of the traits a recruiter values.

Facing NCAA charges and probably not a big enough program to avoid the hammer. The exodus may indicate expectations of a postseason ban.
