If the staff wanted him, there must have been something there. However, given positional needs and the time of year, I'm not going to sweat this one.
We've got plenty for next year, obviously. Ernst and the Greek as emergency back-up at this point to McKay, Niang, and Nader at the post will be fine barring a disaster (and that disaster would subvert our highest goals, anyways, kind of like UVA last year, so so be it).
Another wing for the year after when we've got a ton of guards coming back (likely at least Cooke, Thomas, Burton, NN, and maybe even Monte) isn't the biggest loss. That's a good little core in the back court to build around going into 2016-2017.
Going to reserve judgement for a year to see what this coaching staff can do in terms of prep school kids and high schoolers. Assuming TJ hauls about the same crop he always does, however, and we should be fine there (if we can get them to play as a team and not leave, like they did under McD... so much wasted talent in that era it's kind of sickening).
Likewise for their ability on the JUCO and transfer market until about this time next year.
But, damn, we need some posts. I know the new guys aren't going to be Niang and McKay overnight, but we need some Big 12-level players (and, hopefully, at least one immediate play-maker from whatever source) as newcomers there soon.
