Bench Joynes Bailey Keating Hamady (FR).

You would have thought he might have brought in a guard although we had Courtney Nelson.

The last two players to play a minute in the NBA were recruited by Waters (Douby, N'Diaye). Of Rutgers forty one (41) 1,000 point scorers Gary recruited five of them: Douby, Shields (I consider him a Gary recruit), Farmer, Inman, and Webb.
 
do you really think that a few months of FHJ on the job (in the off season) ruined FIG?

Nope.

Pitting Corey against Inman didn't help JR. Hill fostered an environment where those two guys wanted to (legitimately) kill each other. They had to be separated (much) more than once. Jerking Farmer back and forth from "1" to "2" back to "1" back to "2" didn't help Anthony. The "Fred's guys" v. "Gary's guys" culture that HC Hill enabled held both the players and team back.

Farmer and Inman wound up having decent careers here (Farmer better than JR) in spite of Fred Hill. Gary would have gotten a lot more out of both guys (imo).
