Whit did it in 2018 and we missed. We are taking shot #2 now, and I'm glad
2018 with Fuente and extension was a gigantic gamble that I STILL think was the right choice At That Time. Did it work? It failed miserably and we suffered greatly as we found out Fu obviously wasn't going to be the "Memphis Offensive Young Upcoming Genius" that we thought he was after he had early success. But, we weren't Blue Chip Level and we had to take a home run swing. Unfortunately, a disaster that took years to recover. We are still not a Blue Chip program, but we are taking another swing and I love it.
Disclaimer- I like Las Vegas.....a lot.
