We play to the level of our competition. We either lie to recruits about playing time or do not develop them once they are on campus and they leave, Hurting continuity.
Our fans are sick and tired of the same routine. We sign top 25 classes and half of the classes do not stay 4 years. We did great with scheduling and taking care of business in the pre-conference schedule, but look like we will be 8-8 in the SEC with "Sweet 16 talent". We shifted away from great rebounding and defensive teams with heart and started recruiting skinny wing players that could shoot the 3 and not dribble with their left hand. We still cannot attack a zone defense after 13 years with the same head coach. Our coaching staff will remain on that bench until Stansbury is fired or quits. No one wants them. Kirby left for Georgetown because of the Stansbury flirting with Clemson deal and Kirby finding out that he would not be considered for the job if Stansbury did leave. We let the inmates run the asylum. We take ill-advised shots and let the players stay on the floor. Auburn's coach pulled a player if they let one of our guys get open for a 3. If Stansbury did that, we would have guys quitting at halftime and leaving the Hump for another school. We went through the Ravern years without lifting weights. Varnado benched like 135 (1 time) at an NBA combine. Ravern Johnson couldn't learn to dribble with his left hand after 4 years and he didn't gain any weight. Transfers are the lifeblood of our program. Shane Power, Lawrence Roberts, Arnett Moultrie, etc. We let other coaches develop the talent and maturity and we reap the benefits. I don't know if the NCAA was looking at us or not a few years ago, but Stansbury stopped recruiting elite talent. Phil Turner, Travis Gabbidon, Jaquise Holcombe, Twanny Beckham, not being able to find a position for Romero Osby, and John Reik were all risks and head scratchers, except for Osby. I'm afraid that we are about to lose 4 games in a row and miss out on a high seed and the NCAA's all together.
