Fans in our situation have to be patient

We saw last night a glimmer of hope with Mareik Isom. Finally we saw what evidently the coaches have been seeing since they recruited him. Hopefully it will be the same with Poulter, although the time frame for return in his case will be longer. In many cases, the freshmen we have are going to have to develop. We will not recruit One-And-Done types. We have to recruit potential. Not so, of course, with jucos, you expect more immediate returns, but in most cases the jucos we bring in will be role players - point guards, rebounders, or pure shooters. They will fill a role, but even with jucos we are not likely to get the kind of dominant, all-round players like the money schools get.
