Mick walked into a dumpster fire, and Wes is only walking into less of a scolding one. If anything, Wes is almost on even ground, he's recruiting in the AAC. We all know the phenomenal job Mick did to pull us to a relevancy and then success, it took years. We can't ignore Wes starting this job weeks later than we all wanted from a recruiting stand point. All the time we kept complaining about the indecision and Cunningham, is not Miller's fault.
No one here is in the know enough to know enough about the roster make up, but there's no reason to not trust Wes for now.
We had 4 players, and now this team I hope can compete. I don't expect big things this year, and hope for much bigger in year 2-3. Only time will tell.

Some of Wes's decisions were obvious and some we will have to wait and see. We don't know how much of his decision making came down to things like balancing classes, getting guys with experience in the system, coaches thoughts on future potential, getting some young guys to put in development, stabilizing roster before swinging for the fence, holes in our roster, player mentality or work ethic, immediate success vs sustained success, etc etc etc.
Wes made pretty clear his goals and he knows he has to do well here to keep a job or to get a better job. If we can get an impact wing scorer go to type I will have to trust the rest of his thought process was fairly deliberate.
Patience!
