If he got better as a coach from year 1 to 3, that's great,

but the problem is the program as a whole made ZERO progress in year 1. Not a single player on the year 1 team was on the year 3 team, which means you had ZERO player development over an entire season. And a large reason for that was not a single player from that 1st recruiting class stayed for year 3. And a big part of that was they weren't a good fit with Kim. Most of those guys were the ones in disciplinary problems among others. You can argue all day long if they were getting away from Kim or if Kim was running them off, either way, if KA met those players, realized this isn't one of my "guys" he wouldn't have wasted his time on them and he would have had more guys stay from year 1 to 2 and 2 to 3. And if he thought Fuller was not someone he wanted to work with, he should have canned him when he got there, not a year later. There was all this pressure to keep that highly rated recruiting class together and that's what he did, but ultimately that's what sunk him(among other things), because those guys didn't fit and wound up leaving anyway. Now, Kim continued to have problems getting guys to stay, like Jackson this year, but that first year was a killer. You can't lose a whole year man, you just can't.
