I don;t think he recruited Nesbitt much at all, because he thought he would be too much of a high-maintenance guy who doesn't want to focus solely on defense and being tough.

Cuonzo appears to be very Norm-esque in his antipathy towards recruiting talented, local prospects that may require emotional massaging.

I think one of the biggest hurdles Cuonzo faces recruiting wise is that his brand of basketball is just completely unappealing to today’s top recruit.
These blue chip prospects want to play in a system that will allow them to showcase their talents to the NBA. Not one where they’re required to expend all their energy on the defensive end of the floor and don’t get to push the ball much on offense. I LOVE the way Cuonzo’s teams play defense, I love how tough they are, and the ones that stick around seem to genuinely buy in to what he’s trying to do. But there has to be a way that he can figure out a way to put more points on the board. Because routinely scoring in the 50s and 60s just isn’t appealing to anyone. |

3-0 and have looked good doing it. ORU and Oregon are good programs but WSU is in an death spiral with the coach resigning and players transferring.

I knew our first 2 wins were good wins, but didn't know how WSU was this year. I figured they have started to become dog shit since their coach is gone and players won't stick around.

Pretty sure we could've beaten kU this year. They're nothing special.
Too bad they ducked us and canceled the game. |

What happened to Watson? He’s just about disappeared and is a complete non factor.
