You are leaving out the other players though. They were bad defensively at the point of attack etc. 

What other players? You’re putting a ton of blind faith in mid-major players not revered for their defensive prowess.

He’s defensive numbers were atrocious last year. There’s no defending it.

idk what you're drawing that opinion from... I hope not "block rate" 

But... now you're moving the goal posts... You just told me he's a "perimeter-oriented player"--- he takes 70% of his shots at the rim.

I don’t think you are putting enough though. Lots of similar ranked and graded players made the transition. UK, Louisville etc did this exact type of thing.

69% of Reed Bailey's shot attempts were at the rim last year. 

Who cares? He’s a face up 5 that dives and cuts to the rim. He doesn’t play on the block. 65% of Danny Wolf’s shots were at the rim last year and I guarantee you nobody takes issue with calling him a perimeter-oriented player.

We may look a bit like Frans Iowa teams next year, 

Jeez…I hope not. They’ve been putrid on D the last few years. Worse than Tom Crean and Woody defenses. We’ll have little shot at the tourney if we’re that bad on D. 
 

Ideally, we’d look more like Wisconsin/BYU/Kentucky this past year. A top offense…. Don’t need to play a blistering pace to get it…and inside the top 50/60 on def efficiency. Purdue , Uconn, and Illinois were similar but played slower.  
 

I get the personnel issues and comp to Iowa, but they're so dang bad on D I hate to even see that comparison.

Bailey can drive and move well. People sometimes think 5-out means 5 shooters… Bailey is skilled enough tho be that 5 out big. Will be fun to see.

It’s riveting watching the top challenger & undisputed champ of doubling down on bad takes locked in a death spiral…

If there is, I'm not sure he would know. He had no idea Dorn was on campus till someone told him. This staff is keeping it very quiet. 

People need to stop listening to him. He has no direct connection from what I see. All second hand.

Plus, I have a very, very difficult time believing nobody is visiting for Little 500 weekend. 

If there ever were an ideal time to be hosting recruits, this is it ...

Me too I know for sure some were scheduled unless people cancelled it is very hard to believe.
