Subject: Well they have: Barbour, Harrison, Cook
Posted by: VAHokie89 on Mon May 19 2008 11:06:29 AM
Message:

I don't think it is a damning statement yet. They have gotten players. I
look at in the context that this past year does not necessarily represent
a trend. It represents a valley when they allowed themselves to have few
seniors or junior to really rely upon. If they had had 1-2 more players
who were veterans, I bet they win more games. So we would not
necessarily be attacking BD with the type of venom people see. That
was a recruiting cycle thing, not a talent issue. Yet. I am willing to
concede that she and her staff have to show that they can overcome
the situation they got caught in having to rely on young players. I know
Haskins is not a young player anymore but this team lost veterans.

I have patience because I know this has not been going on for years
and years.
