The defense against Kal started four players rated as four-star prospects coming out of HS: Sinclair, Tafiti, Aybar and Frausto-Ramos.
Not great, but also not too bad, if you ask me.
Bust, young, young (has an extra year coming off season-ending injury), young.

Pretty good, if you ask me.
Young, good, ok, bust, young, young.

That "objective analysis" has an axis with the 247 talent composite, which does not factor in transfers (and if it does it just uses their HS star ratings), and is thus almost entirely useless.
It also doesn't factor in what the coach ACTUALLY DID with said talent (almost to a T jettison a lot of it out and bring in a bunch of transfers).
The inherited players were also reared in a culture of losing and doing yoga as S&C.
