Exactly.

Kuany has the potential to be the best of the 1st recruiting-class bunch, but he’s spent the past 2 years on the bench, with only spot minutes to show. I don’t even want to get started on Lars, who tries real hard but plays sooo much smaller than 7’.
After the first Stanford loss, Fox openly acknowledged a talent deficiency on the team, something you rarely hear a HC admit. That is sooooo not a good look, especially when as HC you recruited/signed 8 of the guys you’re referring to. Incidentally, of the 3 anchors to your roster, none were recruited by Fox. This is bad.
No. They’re def gonna need lightning in a bottle w/ some unexpected 3* recruit going full-on Ryan Anderson and flipping the script a little, esp. when Bradley grad transfers to Michigan next season. Feel bad saying this, but it was a little disappointing to hear a couple of mediocre seniors are returning for another year in ‘21-‘22 after the COVID eligibility waiver, as they’re blocking the PT of others...
I've come to the conclusion that it's going to take a complete bottoming out (yes, worse than this season) and a staff changover. And that will mean a couple more seasons of this level of play.
This is the most likely outcome, as the regression of this team in ‘20-‘21 back to the basically unwatchable messes of the Wyking-era are really negative signs. By the time it’s all said and done, it’s probably 10 years of utter irrelevance...

Trying to think through marginal changes to marginal improvement really isn't the way forward with the current program.
