As far as I know, Steere is a good citizen and going into last pre-season he was projected as a starter (by some) for SJU. Based on his upside, I'm fine with the gamble. It didn't work out, but it seems like a really jaded mentality to focus so heavily Steere despite the fact that we've slightly exceeded expectations.

Because lack of size hasn't bit us in the a$$ yet. Hopefully it won't but it's likely that it will. Hopefully Pridgen can continue to do what he does and rebound and help to offset it. Dodd playing more would also help tremendously. Truth of the matter, is we have beaten teams we should so far. And while that's certainly an improvement on the prior regime, let's see conference play first.

You're pointing to failures of the past regime and holding Siddle accountable. With your mentality, the drum you keep banging, Siddle shouldn't have recruited Pridgen because we had an immediate need and there was no guarantee he would be eligible. We're short on bigs because of years of failure; not because Siddle took a chance on Steere.

Specifically, which big should Siddle have recruited?
