I think the question is whether a four-star fish PG would have been transformative to the tune of 5-6 wins THIS year for THIS team. It's possible.

Let's see: UCLA, UKx2, Carolina, Fla, WVU, Zona. Not claiming this is a moral victory, but we played seven against eventual S16 teams this year. In a better year we ought to have won as many as half of those and our team looked pretty good in a couple of the games. Add in games against other NCAA teams--USC, VTech, Arkx2--we definitely had a slate of 11 games that could have qualified us for the Dance. Regrettably that led to 1 W and 10 Ls. If 5 of those losses had been wins we likely would have been in. Even taking into account our other losses.
If we accept this was a rebuild, that is a foundation to keep in mind next year.
Nice moral victory post. No, I won't keep a 1-10 record in mind as a foundation for any future success
Oh, and Sandhop might explode. He needs to claim the SEC is good, but he decided 5 years ago that Frank Martin would never get to the tournament
