Yeah, I cherry-picked this, but sometimes patience is what's called for, which I hope we're (admin) is exhibiting in view of the last 2 recruiting classes. Sure, put up the facilities argument, our "history," and all of that crap. Not buying it. We've had some good years, NCAA -wise; we've never been what some of you think we've been. Sorry to break the news to you.

We hear about ol Kermit a lot when JJ's lack of productivity is pointed out. Aside from the fact that Kermit did not already have a 20 year record of mediocrity, how many other coaches in modern basketball can you name that took 7 years to get it together?
