As someone who has gone through it I have a ton of respect for the work the players put in but most of these guys wouldn’t cut it when compared to the squads we used to have and the guys I used to play with. Not sure who recruits who nowadays but they aren’t getting the talent that needs to be brought in to uphold the standard and euro players (bigs in particular) just aren’t the vibe. I hate to keep referring back to one guy but raw talent can only get you so far, you have to have a feel for the game, Joel had that, but this boy doesn’t. Right now the kid is a dominant NAIA player at best and if you look at the stats it’s a proven fact. In the end one guy is not the issue, it’s a collection of many factors.
