I just don't think this is based in any kind of reality, and when you say wild stuff like this, it undercuts the legitimate complaints about Kennedy. The Sweet 16 isn't meaningless. If you think it is, then I have no idea why you would even bother to follow Aggie Basketball. It's as far as we've gotten
in the history of the program.Quote:
Is Billy Kennedy going to compete for championships?
Kennedy won our only conference championship in 30 years. We can debate the value of winning the SEC in 2016, but he did it.

Is Billy Kennedy developing kids and putting them into the league?
This is complicated, because you could make a decent case that yeah, he is, especially compared to our history as a program. We've only had 15 players in the history of the program appear in NBA games (according to RealGM) and a full third of them played at least one season for Kennedy.
Now, if you got into the weeds and explained how the G-league and two-way deals work that maybe some of the guys that have played in the last few years never would have gotten into games in the old model, but the simple fact is that we have five guys that played for Kennedy that are currently on NBA rosters or two-way deals that have already appeared in NBA games, and two more (Davis and Hogg) that could play in a game this season.

Literally everyone knows these things, and it's why no one is going to the games and no one wants to sign here.
We signed four nationally ranked players this week, and our class is currently ranked in the top 20.
