Can we finally realize that;
Lavin had a challenge filling the loss of nine slots to begin with. Setbacks did occur, like the Rise Academy debacle, but he still brought in a great group.
Losing Moe hurt, but getting KaKarr back was a great achievement.
Needing size and shooting is being addressed. Adding two shooters and Sanchez will certainly help. Adding another big will make us even more competitive.
Getting in the game with Wood again and a stud like Turner speaks to a positive perception of the program.
Lastly, as Moose notes, we sre coming out of the thicket and will be able to recruit in a more systematic fashion. If we can add Lawrence and Mc Cullough over the next two cycles, we are establishing ourselves as the program we should be.
