Yes and no. She was left with 2 transfers in their last year of eligibility

one RS Sophomore,one sophomore, one RS Freshman and one incoming recruit (all of whom could have left). KB took the cream with him. Yes he raised the program to a higher level, but one with a lot of question marks. The players he left were higher level players than the ones he inherited but now we have a program requiring more highly rated players to be able to maintain the level that the program had reached, players that could choose among the better teams. That’s a tougher job than what he stepped into. It appears that Duffy is getting some highly rated recruits and transfers, but that’s due to her work at a critical time to be able to keep the program nearer to its recent level. The ones coming in now are doing so with a leap of faith. The ones KB brought in early were probably just grateful to get a D1 offer. Kudos to Duffy

I don't think any KB critics deny this; it's a matter of feeling betrayed..
