Palmetto Proving Grounds

I think the biggest thing Martin will bring to our team is structure. On defense for sure but also on offense, We have good athletes. They all seemed to like each other and pull for one another. They we framkly very poorly coached. Horn will prosper as a lead assistant somewhere. He can recruit. He simply was a very poor coach at the SEC level while here. I hate it. I thought he'd get the job done.

Here's my acid test. Can you name 1 Horn recruit that showed significant improvement in their time under Horn? I cannot. Cooke comes the closest but you could say he played his best ball at Nevada as a Fr. Jackson surely didn't. None of the guards. No one on the front court. They all seemed to regress or stay the same. That's on coaching.

I guess if we lose more players it won't be as if FM started with Horn's team. Granted, he is getting some of the last ones at the party so you can't exactly say that they were who he absolutely wanted as his players.

Hey, Jelsik. Would you rather have Jeter or Glass?

That is what I was thinking. But, I have never seen either, on film or otherwise. Regardless, it is very difficult to evaluate basketball players. I saw Damien Leonard play in the NC v SC all star game, and I thought he was a lock to score 18-22 a night his first year in college. Shows how much I know.
Now, if he had been in a good system, there is no telling how it would have went for him.
