A few months ago we wrote that you and I just needed a little patience when it came to the early days of the Archie Miller tenure. That was so a few months ago. Before we look forward, let’s go back even further — to April, 2017 when Miller was hired. The immediate concern at the time was player defections — both current players and recruits.
