The player turnover in the Geno era was astounding...we mighta done better if some of the players had stayed more than year or so.....but oddly the media never reported much on this disaster...
Instead they just kept on hammering the point that we were upgrading, getting better, deeper, more talented, and light years better than before....
...BUT...none of them ever seemed to help at all and when replaced by the next wave of come-and-go recruits, none were any better.
By my count Geno landed verbals & commitments from 23 different recruits...from Donivine & Nate Wells, to Jalen & Shayok to Tyshon & Mike Shaw, to Zecevic, and Fields, and then the last batch with Amerson & Morgan were pretty useless....
Of those 22 signed LOI's or enrolled - and 21 actually got onto the Bradley roster and logged minutes...
ONLY two stay until they used ALL their eligibility (Pickett & Barnes) and five more (Shaw, Fields, Thomas, Bell, Jones)
are still here and at least have a possibility of completing their eligibility here... although even more might yet leave..
But, a total of 16 of the 23 (70%) either never made it, or left before their expected eligibility was used up...
16 of 23 thru the revolving door...SEVENTY PERCENT failed to even stay more than a year or two before leaving or getting sent packing.....in and out and never helped us a bit - and even the few who stayed only helped some - & couldn't carry the team.
This has to be the real failure of the GF legacy - that all those highly touted and highly acclaimed (by GF & the media) recruits were so devoid of any ability to help us.
