Increasing JAR Attendance/Engaging the Fans

Same here. I will lose much sleep. -
I'm visiting Duke this weekend yet I am not on the level to play there.

I can hear it now- "I'd like to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and the good folks at Piggly Wiggly...."

They wanted to get it in before the Spring Game...oh...wait.

I think a full off-season of work on his defense and strength would have gone a long way for Oggie. Unfortunately, he didn't get here until late August or early September as I recall.

I was there and he played but I do not recall him starting.

I think Oggie's shortcomings on defense cost him time. Groce also always emphasizes how the guys practice and I suspect this did not bode well for a kid in a new country and new system. The Zips system is much more up tempo and physical when what he was likely seeing in Europe. Also, Groce's rotations tend to shrink as the season wears on and he ended up as the 10th or 11th guy in a 9 man rotation.

I heard a story from an insider at the tip-off reception that in the pre-season opposing coaches inquired how UA was ever able to get Eric. The same person conceded they'd be very lucky if they were able to keep him over the long term.

Exactly. Some kids are just testing their value.
-
Ask yourself this people- If you were able to put your resume out there to see if another employer would pay you more to do the same exact job, and it wouldn't impact your current position, would you do it? That's what these kids are doing.

Yes, we really have been spoiled to this point.
