And that was my point of posting that overly long comment of mine.
Too early to point fingers at the coach.  We gave Doc a couple of
years to fix the problem Collier left, which meant there was no talent
here and none coming in.  The delay in getting Doc hired caused him to
loose valuable recruiting time that first year.  Last two years we
complained of no height.  He's got that now.  And talent, too.  And
more coming in next year.  Building a program isn't easy.

Now, we could do it the KState way - hire a big name controversial
coach, he brings with him several high quality recruits, then bolts
for a big name school after a year.  The question there is whether
they can sustain that.  I give all the credit for the current status
of their basketball program to Huggins.  Sleeze-ball?  Sure.
Successful?  You betcha!  Sustainable?  Hmmm.  We'll have to see.

But I think I'd rather do it the traditional way.  May take longer,
but probably less NCAA infractions along the way.
