What player has Muller recruited or had at ISU that could have been an all American? Why is your threshold could be all American or below average? Seems to seem their are plenty of quality players in between that could fit some type of system or culture you are trying to build?Its a recruiting theory Dan seems to follow. You'd effectively have to graduate or transfer the "athletes" and replace them with pass first point guards, 3 point specialists, slashers, coke machines, defensive guys. You'd have to shift away from the idea of "super high upside" players and replace it with people who have a minimum floor. Dan seems to have a history or finding guys that COULD be All Americans if everything lined up right or could end up being below average at most facets of the game. It might be time to go back and (I hate using this guy as an example, but his skill base makes sense), a player with a similar skillset as Reggie Lynch where you know even if he sucks at everything else, he'll block or alter 15 shots a game.
Again, SEPARATING THE BAD PERSON HE IS FROM THE BASKETBALL PLAYER HE WAS, his basketball ability had a minimum threshold. He was never not going to be a defensive force and anything else you got from him was a bonus. Of course, we are going back to Jank recruits with that.
I look forward to your hate mail for bringing up Reggie Lynch.
