You are twisting and turning a lot of things here.
I offered up players I wish they pursued or made more of a priority. I wanted them to reach higher but they grabbed low hanging fruit. When it's late in the game sometimes that's the play. If they reached higher they may have come up empty. There are tons of hypothetical scenarios.
From Mullin, Lavin, Norm they all have had some missteps or directions I personally didn't agree with. I'm not sure why Mullin's staff is such a point of contention for you and others.
We had a lot of talent with the last staff and we could have had more. Everyone including yourself needs to let it go. Time will tell with Anderson and I'm hopeful but it's more than fair to share some skepticism.
I've moved past the Mullin/Matt/StJean staff. I actually think Matt was pretty good for what his role was but he certainly shouldn't have been the only recruiter on staff. He definitely had some shortcomings when it came to talent evaluating especially when it came to transfers from lower levels. But he was very good at closing in on his targets in a short amount of time.
All I'm saying is that you are not affording this staff the same leniency you provided the last one. Zach Brown was a weird case yes, but there were certainly a ton of red flags that Matt chose to ignore. That's why UConn cut ties with him and why none of the dozen or so D1 schools in his home state went after him. Instead of following suit and staying away, Matt chose Brown over French which was an all-time bad decision that doesn't get the proper amount of ridicule. If this new staff makes a similar mistake I think your response would be more negative than "I've seen a ton of crazy things but nothing as crazy as that."
