The recruits also came in with in an intent on building the program; whereas many of Braun's recruits came in with the intent of transferring after one or two years. HUGE difference in mentality.

Walt-while I certainly believe your observation. Any background on why you know/believe that? I will tell you, I remember a game late in that season (one of those %^$%^$ Braun Saturday afternoon games I think, but maybe not) that was really big and when the team came on the court from the lockerroom just before tipoff, I could see them looking around at the dozens of fans in dismay at the size of the crowd. I think those issues also affected them a lot.

Ennis was thinking transfer early. I know that for a fact. The rest I don't think you can really say they came in to transfer... Arsalan still comes to games. Obi maybe was looking to transfer but I don't know much about that situation with Braun leaving.

Arsaian and Oraby left because of Greenspan, but Ennis, Reischel, Chadwick, Ibrahim and DeBose were all recruited by Marcos with the intent of getting early playing time and transferring to a nationally prominent school.
