I certainly support a guy wanting to put his stamp on the program and get rid of dead weight, but it wasn't like he ran off the walk-ons. We're down two probable starters and a shooter who would've seen time. Players shouldn't be forced out if there are no replacements waiting.
I don't know much about how recruiting works but does the May 19th date really mean anything for transfers? I'm concerned i guess, but i don't really get how the LOI shit works.
I don't have a clue. I just get tired of hearing from the same people over and over that we're better no matter what because Skinner and his shitty recruits are gone. So far, we've lost Sanders, Ravenel, Noreen, Ndao, and Heslip. The first four have been replaced by _____________, and we're apparently left to hope that Heslip will be replaced by Starring. The same people then laugh and say "Heslip's going to Boise State, haha what a huge loss!" but hope that we fill his spot with a guy from Centenary, and don't mind that our two 2011 guys (so far) also had offers from mid- and low-majors. The cognitive dissonance is staggering.
Sanders did more harm than good last season and no one can disagree with that. Ravenel showed some potential, but again didn't contribute a whole lot. Noreen hurts I agree. Ndao was a project and Heslip was fine, but can be easily replaced by Starring. Outside of Noreen, I just don't understand how much we really "lost". We also replaced an average to poor coach with a very good coach, which is worth something. We just need to exercise some patience here with the 2011 class so I totally disagree.
I think we can all stop talking about Starring. Apparently, according to TOS, CapD lost out on him to Cal Irvine. That's right, an ACC program couldn't beat out the goddamn Anteaters. Well, I'm sure timing really effected the decision here. Stevie D was only on the job 3 days more than Turner (UCI's new head coach hired on 4/9/10). Ultimately, this decision may have come down to where Starring felt most comfortable molesting other boys.
Damn... really wish BC could've found a head coach who was at least half as good of a recruiter as Al was.
Who were Skinner's recruits in his first year? Kenny Harley? Brian Ross? Awesome. While the situation is not as bad as when Skinner took over, we still have a situation where nobody gives one flying fuck about the BC bball program and all recruits knows this. BC is not an appealing bball school right now.
