In fact, if we make the NIT I wouldn't be shocked to see an extension of a year or two
TIMESTAMP!
jimmy mac received a 2 year extension
ridiculous
Another reason to hold off renewing my annual contribution.
Obviously the extension was motivated by concern about recruitment. But that excuse can be used to justify mediocrity ad infinitum. If Robinson leaves, and possibly Bowman, and we end up with, at best, something like this past season, then the program stands condemned for the spottiness of past recruitment. A program has to have adequate replacements in train. If the past season had been an outstanding success, which it wasn't (except by contorted comparison to recent disasters), and we ended up taking only a step back next season because of departures, then that would reflect the adequacy of recruitment overall. But a season like the last one was many steps below outstanding. The relevant standard should not be a step above dismal. Look at Villanova!
I think Christian is a very decent man. I wish him and the team the best. But, after five years, the record has not justified another extension.
