Very good chance if Stans had been retained that Gray and Hood would both be scoring for us but we would still have a soap opera or a transfer might still have happened. Point is that we seldom lacked talent with Stans but I'm concerned whether Ray will ever recruit enough sufficient talent to compete at an NCAA tournament level. Guess we will all find out over the next couple of years.

Didn't Ray just have a player transfer away from this team in the middle of the season? Didn't Hood transfer? Haven't others been kicked off the team? You don't think that is drama? I will take what we had (elite players with some drama) than what we have now - boring and apathy with no elite players (Sword would be if he could shoot from the outside). Saw in today's newspaper that we had 8400 at game - we had maybe 4000 for KENTUCKY in the middle of a beautiful Saturday. And don't say it is all "lower level" people that buy tickets and don't show up. There were many empty lower level seats, but there were upper level sections with 1 or 2 people in them. And, it was 4000 because KY had 1000! This is not a joke - when I left the game and saw that our girls softball team was playing, I said to my wife that we really should have gone to that game. I don't even like softball and it was a little chilly. Again, I think we will get a little better - we do have no depth. But, we don't have a shooter coming in (my friend watched the guard coming in - 6' and skinny - yea, he will be able to shoot over KY's 6'6" guards). But ever going back to the NCAA tourney is a long shot and making a run with average players is a dream.
