Talent

[WhiteTrash]

Butler is the only team that's even close to MU in talent. Everyone else has far more. Markus is better than Baldwin, their 2-4 are better but our roster may be more complete. We have nobody who can break down a defense consistently other than Markus. We have guys who shoot good percentages from deep but can't create seperation to get those shots. Our bigs are incredibly slow and mechanical.

All my opinion, of course.

I'm not going to argue that. I was saying based upon high school recruiting rankings. That list is not a "who's who" of top 25-30 classes year in and out.

Lockett signed with the Kings (something foretold on Scoop!), but I believe he only played in the pre-season.

Buzz recruited far superior talent and was a much better coach. No surprise he had much more success.
