No apologies for staff, brought here to turn things around. Last year was solid, but filling nine spots in one year is unheard of. That said, Coach Lavin rolled the dice on a few kids academically and lost. Still too early to judge if Lavin can get program back on an annually competitive track. My guess is he will, but let's accept that this year will be painful. Next year if we are not consistent, respected and growing, then bitching may be in order. From a marketing perspective, Lavin has clearly gained some respectability for the program, garnered more media attention and made recruits at least think of SJU. If offered those accomplishments two years ago, I would have taken that bet. Let's let things play out and see if this staff can put us on the path to permanent competitiveness.
