Nor did I.

But don't you find the irony in the excuse last year? Can't be lost completely.

It's a weak point. What's going on right now with the portal is unprecedented. Yes, we lost out on some recruits and yes there are still a bunch of quality players out there including bigs. Both can be true.

THANK YOU!

Last year, Siddle was a new coach recruiting with a short window, without being able to have kids on campus or make in-house visits.

This year, a new rule was implemented allowing kids freedom of movement and 40% of D1 basketball players entered the portal with no deadline to commit to a new school. The situations aren't remotely similar.

Last year it was like Siddle came in to bat with runners in scoring position and 2 strikes. If you want to say he struck out, fine, but there is nuance. If you want to ignore the nuance and say "he didn't deliver" that is your prerogative.

This year, he's up to bat again and there is a rain delay but you're still ******** about the outcome. He's still in the box; let's see how it plays out.
