He mailed it in the last 2 years, badly, on the recruiting front. And he had no semblance of roster balance. You don't have to be Kreskin to realize guys like Sampson and Mo weren't staying 4 years. The only logical explanation is that Lavin thought the tourney last year was sufficient to allow him to rebuild from rock bottom. After 5 years, shame on him, and this coming from a guy who was a huge Lavin supporter until late 2014/early 2015, when I finally saw the writing on the wall.
