I love to watch college basketball and Kent will always be the team I follow but I know what you mean. The last few years I’ve gone from being an enthusiastic Kent fan to just a basketball fan. Both the women’s and men’s team have become mediocre at best in the last 10 years (with a few exceptions). It’s too bad but I’ve come to the conclusion that great teams at Kent (2012 football, 2002 etc basketball, 2011 gymnastics, 2012 baseball etc) don’t result in improved recruiting and sustained sucess. They are just blips on the radar. The money is not their and the coaches usually don’t stay so I’ve resigned myself to lowering the expectations and just enjoying the occasional good team and/or player. Other than golf we just don’t have any programs that can sustain that degree of success.
