It wasn't a fit based on Feuerbach and Stremlow...you know, two players that would be affected by any guard signed.
Oh, and apparently JJ was getting advice from some parents.
Fvcking ridiculous if all true.
Lute Olson operated the same way. The existing roster had veto power over recruits. Joe Barry Carroll, later Purdue All American and #1 player picked in the NBA draft, was vetoed by the Iowa players who thought he would be a bad fit. Nothing surprising about Jan deferring to the team, if in fact that’s what happened.
