First, he's terrific. A real teacher, program salesman. He's putting us in better recruiting circles. However, to me, despite all Americans signing, he has yet to reach Leonard's level. Every time he has a young guard heavy team their growth severely stunts the previous year's success. He seems to really struggle molding new rosters into NCAA teams. Take two years ago, reaching NIT finals, had that been an NCAA team, he most likely changes program perception sooner. His version of elite recruits are usually too raw to contribute solo.
His lack of consecutive tourney appearances will fail to change the perception of the job nationally. I actually think that a power 5 assistant after L retires would do well here. Once again, L is fantastic! He does lack consistent program progress and that doesn't move the Miami job beyond where Ham had it before going to D.C. Thoughts? (If they rally this season and do make it, I may change my outlook of his tenure)
