Three draft picks in six years is not compelling.  Powell & Heustis developed most when Madsen was around.  Didn't see much more improvement after he left.

Verhoeven is a bust let's just accept that & move on - if he were top 100 talent he wouldn't have been playing only in garbage time and when the three big men were all in foul trouble.  Rosco is still trying to realize his potential.  Randle will end up playing in Europe - he's not fast enough to be an NBA PG and he's not big enough to be an NBA SG.

Among the players who Dawkins had the opportunity to coach, who should have made the NBA, bud did not due to poor development?  (I think no one.  I certainly don't think that the coaching staff is to blame for Randle's lack of speed or size.  I think the coaching staff has done a great job helping him become an excellent college player.) 

I agree that Madsen was important to player development.  The solution is to get another assistant like Madsen because that is easier than trying to find a new head coach to rebuild the program.

If we accepted that players were busts after 2 years of not contributing, then we would have written off Landry Fields.  That's why I said that we should wait and see how Rosco and Verhoeven play this year.
