Sure they can, but the losses would outweigh the gains.

There is no way a coach can tell a good recruit to sit out for two years
thebruce

I agree with cmg wholeheartedly but let's not start tweeting Desmond. Just win

I agree that we shouldn't do any insulting tweets but he clearly doesn't know

Overreacting on Twitter solves nothing and just looks thin skinned.

I'm just not convinced angry tweeting dh is the way to gain any traction on it

I think we should just lose to prove his argument wrong.

We tried that in 2002-03. Worked like a charm...
