when Tara talks about recruiting more variety does that mean someone like Betts shouldn't have been recruited? Aren't you supposed to recruit the best available

well, last year year certainly calls that adage into question. 

shaw likely leaned too far into helping stars avoiding logjams. women's bb may have been too complacent with logjams for stars.

betts and family seem to imply we didn't get their buy-in by warning them, "we really want you, but please understand you likely won't play much freshman year. sophomore year you can shine. if you're comfortable waiting, we'd love to have you. if you're not comfortable waiting, you should go elsewhere. we'll be disappointed, but we'll understand and support your decision."
