You referred to Wooden as a "highly regarded recruit". Actually, he didn't hype himself but rather recruiting services graded him.
Whether the servcies were right or wrong doesn't matter. Wooden did the best he could on a perfectly thrown ball.
I just don't understand ridiculing players especially after heartbreaking losses. Trust me, they feel bad enough.
It's fine if NEPA Irish thinks I'm an asshole but give the players a break.
