If Brommer transfers that will be too bad. What it will really show is Lickliter's inability to recruit his early years meaning he had no idea what it took when he took over the program. Brommer is a typical Butler type player in a probability and Lickliter probably thought he could "coach him up" like he could in the Horizon League.
Scroll forward 3 years in the Big 10 and Lickliter now finds himself with a bench player that has trouble competing in the Big 10 at the center position and another player who might now transfer because he is unhappy with playing time. So instead of having a player who has developed into a Big 10 center we are again talking about a freshmen coming in (the FOURTH year) and having to take that position.
So many of you can make all the excuses you can but it comes down to poor recruiting by this staff and underestimating what it would take in the Big 10 to compete. And now AGAIN, instead of getting to slowly develop a freshmen, Lickliter has to DEPEND on a freshmen and all of you will just say how young our freshmen are and THAT is reason this team is doing as well as it might next year.
Lickliter developed his own problems from DAY 1 and now all he has is excuses.
He is no better than Alford as being a coach who is basically a LEARNING ON THE JOB COACH because he has no idea what to do at this level.
Man, would I love to get paid over a million a year at my profession to learn on the job and have everyone around me just make excuses for me about why I haven't succeeded after 3 years after being the worst in my profession in my center in 108 years. And all I have to do is blame the previous person that had my job. And my boss has such a huge ego that he refuses to believe that he could not have possibly hired the wrong person and will do and say anything to keep me even though one of my requirements was to fill the arena and no one attends anymore.
Now all I have to do is say, "we have turned the corner. I just needed to get the right kids on the bus." (Of course some of those kids also are leaving).
