I think JJ was put in a tough position. People have hyped the "program" and ok, thats fine. But, the talent was almost non existent. I dont know this to be true, but people say it takes years to recruit guys and we see that Jones goes after high mid major talent. The fruits of that labor seem to be realized with hueitt and Godwin. That shows real improvement over the last decade.

Now, if the next two years are not good, i can certainly say this hire didnt work out. But I think people have been too harsh. Jones turned around the team in year 2. Year 3 was a disappointment losing in the conference finals. Year 4 was certainly a "rebuilding" year based on the circumstances of the roster.

I do like the makeup of the next 2 years. We'll see if that is false hope.
