Regarding St. Louis - It was not my point that Crews did great and then left the cupboard bare. Plane and simple, he left the cupboard bare. Plane and simple, if the freshman leave then Archie left the cupboard bare. Next year (2017-18), if St. Louis plays the new great recruiting class (Freshman)...they are unlikely to have a great season because they will be loaded with Freshman. IMHO UD is unlikely to do much better, in fact, they may not have the freshman and it could be worse.

For Travis Ford it got worse because they had at least 2 solid recruits transfer when Crews got fired. Travis Ford suffered through last season and is likely to limp through next season... Your opinion is that he will have the beginning of a solid team in 2018-19. Bottom line is that Ford suffered for at least 2 seasons because of poor recruiting and freshman transferring. That is my point.

Archie should be acknowledged for returning UD's basketball respect. However, he is leaving UD with a 4 year recruiting mess that might get worse if his poorly timed exit results in another blown recruiting class. Here is Archie's resume...the freshman class of 2014 (only DD), 2015(5 players but the book is still out), 2016 (only Trey) and 2017 (your guess is as better than mine). This is the legacy of a legendary coach?
Doesn't SLU have five transfers eligible to play next year that are all highly regarded? He may not have to rely on the incoming freshmen as much as one might think.
