1. He wasn't hired until 4-2-24 so recruiting time was limited. It should have been done sooner than March if Monson was to be let go.
2. Some of his new players have been at 2 or 3 schools before coming to LB. That's a bad sign for me. There's a reason they were unhappy at their previous schools.
3. We lost to NIL transfer our 4 best players from last year's team and have 12 new players this year.
4. New coaches at a school with a bare cupboard usually have a pretty bad win/loss record early in their career at a school.
5. In the BW preseason coaches poll, we were picked 8th in the conference and lower by some polls. Let's hope we finish 8th and get the last spot in the BW tourney in March as currently only 8 teams make the tourney in Henderson.
Going forward I'd play his frosh and sophomore players a little more and give them a chance to develop for the future and recruit new players that fit his program. The portal is a crap shoot as you never know how a player who was unhappy at his previous school will work out. I think that getting a senior from the portal is risky as I think those players primarily want to have good season stats so they can play professionally overseas and aren't invested in LB State.
