That was a pretty generous column.

The transfers into UT basketball. Lately, they show their athletic talents off, but this does not translate into team greatness. Could that be the reason why they transfer in the first place? Their former teams are saying good bye with good graces. Wish you well wherever you land. You notice what Wright St is doing, giving their freshman plenty of playing team and for now this team is winning. They to had a transfer who left to play more basketball at Illinois.

Spot on, defense is the key. My biggest complaint about Coach K is the lack of defense and the desire to teach it.

Hard to blame Taylor and Fletcher for our mediocrity. I think we would have been quite a bit worse without either one of them. Sure, Fletcher forced some things against Wright State, but you get that sometimes with a guy who is a competitor and who wants to win. He saw the game slipping away, and he tried to do something about it. Not saying that's entirely a good thing, but it comes from a good place.

Jon Jon spent four years here forcing the offense. Mostly he was pretty good at it. Without Fletcher we MIGHT have someone better but it’s unlikely. I’d rather have ac2-3 year guy than a one and done but Taylor definitely helped last year as Fletcher did this year.
