lacking under Aoki. I knew Aoki in a professional setting and came away very unimpressed. The players from ND that have played in our organization recently lack basic game knowledge and spoke of the lack of development they received. It is a shame.

ND should, imo, fill out the majority of their roster from the Midwest (WI, IL, OH, IN, KY, TN, MI) and supplement with national talent that is a viable fit. But, perhaps more importantly, these players must be much more knowledgeable, much stronger, and much better players by their Junior years than they were as incoming freshman. I don't believe that has happened under Aoki.

Here's hoping they develop under Jarrett.
