Kim's trajectory. With or without Fuller he would have attempted to retain Wright and Gant. Without Fuller he probably doesn't end up with Fulford who is his best recruiter. This idea that Fuller caused the mess which Kim currently resides over is just too funny and actually kind of sad that you guys believe it. Kim Anderson's first class without Fuller is probably Allen/Isabell level players. His 2nd class is probably the same but with some lower-level players added to Puryear/Phillips/Walton because he wouldn't have been retained Gant/Wright and would have had some open scholarships.
Tim Fuller wasn't the reason Kim's first year was wasted. His inability to do the job he was hired to do was the reason the first, second, and likely third year of his job was wasted.
Would we be sitting here talking about how Fuller was forced on Greg Marshall, Ben Howland, or Mike White? No, because those guys were actually qualified to get this job and would have been able to bring their own assistants or make an educated decision on retaining Fuller. Kim was so laughably unqualified that our AD had to mandate who he hired. Kim and his inexperience is entirely to blame for this failure of a basketball program.
