[QUOTE="Eight, post: 2831907, member: 73370"] the roster issue this year is not a matter of a one time mass defection, but continued misses and erosion of the 2016, 2017, and 2018 classes. dixon signed 15 players in those 3 classes and only 3 players remain on the roster today. 2016 frogs signed bane, fisher, noi, and parrish with parrish transferring out in 2016 and fish and no leaving last season. 2017 frogs signed mayen, nembhard, olden, pierce, rafus, and samuel with pierce opting to play in europe, rafus never qualified, odlen i believe left after 2017, and lat leaving last season. somewhere in here angus mcwilliams came, got hurt, and left, but i do know he was gone before last year 2018 frogs signed alok archie, barlow, and davis and we know how that class turned out. i understand some kids need time to develop, understand there might be unique and legit stories behind why players didn't pan out our left, but when you sign 15 players in 3 classes and 3 years later on 3 are on your roster you damn well better be kentucky or duke and even more frustrating is only 4 of those 15 contributed at an impactful level there first year in the program. skip has already told me i am wrong in not being happy with the play of fuller, farabello, and smith and i know others think i am an idiot for thinking this, but then i look at other teams in college basketball and they have freshmen who make contributions their first year out and i am not talking about the kentucky's and duke's. my ignorant perspective on all this is over a 3-year stretch the frogs not only recruited a large number of kids who couldn't help in year 1, but lost 80% before they had a chance to truly develop. that isn't a 1 year mass defection, but something wrong in the program i will say that not only has dixon flipped over his roster but his coaching staff as well with only 1 assistant he came to ft worth with and i am open to the idea the rebuilding will take a few seasons, but if we see the same continued pattern of attrition in this off season that is a very big red flag [/QUOTE]
