I believe Tommy has changed his recruiting style and started becoming a bit more engaged with these kids. Also Andre certainly helped with the last recruit transfer.
As fans we are just looking for more wins than losses on the recruiting trail.

JMO I think we got spoiled by all the players that Lute and Miller got and not used to Lloyd'a approach. But yes we have lost a lot of AZ worthy players to other teams.

Lloyd hasn't had a significant amount of time to build our roster. His approach seems similar to Gonzaga: balanced mix of 5*, 3-4*, internationals and transfers.

In about 2 years, the postseason success will start gaining momentum.

"please no criticism, even when warranted"

Yeah, no.

Made history with his loss to a 15 seed followed by getting taught a hard lesson by his former boss on the most important recruit for the '23 class. That merits criticism. Constructive or otherwise.

The shoutbox is the place recruits go to be talked out of attending the U of A . . . so it has a reputation to uphold. In a free society, everyone gets to voice their opinion -- even if it is totally void of anything substantive. And since there is no price to be paid for being so utterly wrong about so many basketball related topics, the clown show will continue it's run off Broadway until further notice. As it's often said in show business, there's no such thing as bad publicity or the premium paid for a total lack of self awareness. All Hail The Jokers!

Nothing worse when you want to get excited about Zona and then scroll through the crust of negativity. I bet recruits get really turned off by it. Don't you dare tamper with the immaturity, they come firing.

Couldn't agree more, Othic.
