Agreed, the transfers are encouraging, but I'm tempering expectations a bit. By all indications last year's portal haul was just as good. Golden was Big East caliber player, expected him to play at least as well in the A10. We thought Sheldon was going to come in and gunsling, and he couldn't get off the bench for most of the season. Phil obviously exceeded expectations but he still needs to show a lot of improvement in court vision and awareness -- he never passes on offense (many players were very frustrated by this last year) and got lost all the time on defense.
I guess what I mean is, Drew still needs to show he can coach the guys he recruits. Maybe Will Bailey ends up being the biggest addition this offseason?
I feel the same way. Not sure that this year's haul is any better than last year's. Perhaps worse--how likely is it that someone makes the same impact that Phil did? Guess we shall see.
