The five I can think of are Petey, Haluska, Thompson, Hubalek and Clark. Two were walk on's...one transferred from Iowa and the other two were Wayne Morgan recruits. There has to be more....right?

Let's keep in mind he would have had only one class of freshman and then whatever JUCOs. He should graduate 2 next year. Still, his attrition is terrible.

Also with regards to him changing, he has changed. This team this year did not play the same as his UNI teams. This team was offensively focused on MG and CB. I also believe his interactions with the players, especially the very important players, changed when Wes left. I think he became soft on some of the guys. That's my opinion and I have not seen it in person, however that is what I see when I watch games.

Nice to read a well thought post that says something other than fire McDermott and Pollard!

I agree, he is trying to change to a more athletic lineup and style of play. I think he has a learning curve to do this, although time for Mac to figure out how is short before everyone jumps ship.
