Sure it could have

But I think a lot of aspects are to blame for the lack of depth this year. It's rare that 4 starters are all in the same class. That probably scared off a few recruits who wanted immediate playing time and also Jackie still had another year so that didn't help matters. I don't think the staff anticipated Jackie leaving early. Then we had several bigs transfer over the last few years. And a few guards when they didn't get PT. It is what it is but I think they will be better than expected by season's end.
