It's probably going to take more than just 11 games to get some of the mindsets on this team changed.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. One step in this process that will be successful is the attrition. As example, graduating some of the players that should be in leadership roles but aren't assuming that responsibility.

Earlier, you made a remark about changes albeit sarcastically. When I look at the team I see changes. As example, we are seeing Javier (well, make that were seeing) in the nickel position that used to be the one Simeon went to when we used a nickel or dime scheme. We don't see that anymore.

I've not kept my feelings about Simeon under wraps for a couple of years now. I appreciate some of his contributions, but I don't rue the day he is out of eligibility. The boat he is in is the same one I scuttled the day he was arrested and starting complaining about "this will hamper my draft status" instead of thinking about what the actions would mean in terms of the University, the team and his family.

This transition is going to take more than a year, maybe more than two.
