All signs point the rumors being somewhat true. Stucky was a GREAT recruiter! Personable, cared about the kids, relatable...
BUT, other coaches did not vibe with him. There have been mostly unverified whispers from prior coaches that worked with him insinuating that his drills were ridiculous.
Ultimately, I don't think Golden liked him much, and It doesn't take much reading between the lines from there. Even the LACK of comments about the situation point to an agreement that it was a poor fit.
A couple of these kids were tied to him, and a couple of these kids were probably gonna go anyway.
Looking at the room right now, I would say they made the right choice as far as playing time goes.
Way ahead of last years snapshot.
