We're not getting freshmen that are one and done players with NBA Talent who can come in right away and make a big difference.

It's just like when Kalani took over for Bronco in football. He had a great senior-laden team in 2016 and then had to start a major overhaul of the program the following year and recruit like crazy to refill the cupboards.

We'll get there in basketball too.
