As intelligent as all of us UK fans are, none of us are going to be open to see that the cupbard was bare, thus:

1. BCG had to convince Tubby's recruits to come here ( and did not get some - but fortunately PP's Mom wanted him somaplace close enough for her to watch his games). BCG had minimal chance to getting many players, and most have already blamed Tubby as such a poor recruiter, which is the primary reason why the UK fans drove Tubby out of here because he did not bring in the blue-chipper's.

2. BCG's style of Basketball is completely different than Tubby's, so this is a complete rebuilding project. BCG did not inherit the kind of player that he has historically been successful, yet we UK fans want to blast him becasue he does not make adjustments, he does not play a different style, etc... Yet, he has had ONE recruiting class to attempt to completely change the basketball team from what it was to what it will be.

And here the UK fan sits saying he is a complete failure! Guy's, take a BOAT and convert it to a TRUCK. How long will it take to get it the Boat looks and runs like a Truck. I love being a UK fan, and I am patient enough to give him the ebnefit of the doubt that he has started to get the pieces to make change. Just as the UK administration is smart enough to see that they hired someone who is completely revamping a program. Everyone wanted a Cookie Cutter coach, a chamelion, that could come in and not miss a beat. Yet knowone here remembers that when BCG was hired, it was said he coaches a different brand of Basketball. If he coaches a different brand of Basketball, then it tells me he coaches a different type of player. That type of player was obviously not here.

Now UK fans want to blame him because his Freshman class is not putting out like other Freshman around the country. Well we don't have any freshman that are going to be on anyone's "Freshman of the Year" awards list, but consider the amount of playing time that our Freshman get. I'd say our Freshman have done pretty well for themselves. Not superstars, but contributors. No worse than 99% of the rest of the colleges (327) in the country, because it is only 1% of the collges that have the "Freshman of the Year" potential player on their team.

I'm willing to see if the Boat can be changed to a Truck. I am in hopes that the UK administration is not trigger happy to make the mistake of not allowing BCG to complete his contract. And I look forward to BCG putting the Cats back on top, just like every other program that he has been at and put his style player in situations to win.
