Why does a bad recruiting class matter? Is this a serious question?
We have the best returning duo in the conference and pretty decent trio in Steere, Williams, and Wright. We needed two good grad transfers to make a March run.
Marillac is spot on. I talked to a good amount of college coaches this week who laughed at how bad the roster has rounded out.
Couldn't believe additions of Rutherford, Sears, or McGriff. A lot of low major schools said they wouldn't take any of them. One coach said when they played Monmouth last year they put in the game plan to not guard Rutherford because he was so bad and they were shocked at how many minutes he was getting. He didn't make a shot when they played them.
Another coach said that Sears would be the worst player NEC and a division II coach said he wasn't good enough to play for them.
I also didn't see any St. John's coaches the last 4 days.
