My answer would be no.
I thought Bryan & Co. did a respectable job of recruiting starting at ground zero two years ago. They work their butts off, and let us not lose sight of what Mike Mullins does for a hobby.

I'd say respectable so far for sure. Certainly not terrible but not great either. Let's call it incomplete for now and check back in a year from now. This upcoming season will go a long way into determining if this staff can recruit the right players to match with the system.
I'm watching Winthrop play in the championship game and have watched many of their games all season (as I have them in my college hoops pool). They have a PG, Chandler Vaudrin, who is 6'7" and reminds me of what I HOPE Troy D'Amico can turn into. He has 2 or 3 triple doubles, but isn't much of a scorer per se. He's an incredible passer, typically always knowing where his teammates are and rebounds very well for a guard (due to his size). If Troy can be a similar player, the Dawgs are going to be very exciting in a few years.
I think we are all going to be VERY happy with the 3 new recruits. And there may be 1-2 more still to come. This class is definitely better than "respectable."

This is exactly the kind of transfer we need. 6'7" 220 lb. Is athletic, can defend, rebound and score! Could come right in and start at the 4 position, with Domask moving to the 3. I'm sure Lance Jones knows him, hopefully Lance can close the deal for the coaching staff!!!
