Golden has exceeded some's expectations as far as being a PG and he is a Pearl recruit. Can you really count guys like Yemi who if he can walk without falling down has exceeded expectations? Less than three points and three rebounds a game is not exceeding expectations for anyone...Yemi is a perfect recruit though when you are not in on any highly rated guys...he has perfect size....good athleticism and has not played basketball long so you can mold him easier into the type of player you want him to be.
I disagree about the staff developing the players, although I do feel they can put players in better positions to showcase the skills they have. My daughter is just in the fourth grade and plays on a travelling basketball team. Just this year, she has played on a travelling spring team, a fall tournament team, her school team, park and rec team, and been to four basketball camps to work on skills. By the time these guys reach college, how much more can these guys develop after they have worked with so many coaches?
