So the question now is can he bring in the talent to be coached up to win or is he just not good enough in the recruiting game to get the talent.

Well, 2013 it ain't happening. So that leaves 9 years. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshlyHasBeen Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 A terrible season was expected with 8 new guys on the roster and no real shooters from last year's team. Knight also has said it was a mistake publicly about the schedule. Just a reminder Lamar's worst team ever was Jack Martin's 1967 team (5-19, 0-8). Two years later they were (20-4, 6-2). Let's see if there's an improvement next year. Two years from now they could very well be back on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
