I’ve thought a lot about the 1988 scenario.
What would have happened if Sutton had been the coach heading into the 90’s.
He was a pretty good coach and was bringing in tremendous talent.
Can you imagine if Chapman stuck around until his Senior year, with Kemp coming in and Manuel and Mills? Throw in Ellis and Sean Sutton. Then Hansen, Pelphrey, Miller, Woods, Feldhaus, and Farmer.
That team would have given UNLV a run for their money for the 1990 title, IMHO.
And the talent would have kept coming.
But on the downside, probably no Pitino, no Mashburn, and no Pope.
