Maybe. He loaded the first time mostly with JC players and then tried to transition to 4 year recruits. The problem is that the recruiting of 4 year players hasn't panned out the way their coach was hoping. You can see that by looking up who they were pursuing the last couple of years and who they actually signed (hardly any of their targets). Consequently, he lost out of some good players he could have gotten but didn't go after until it was too late. He had a good shot at Yoeli Childs, for example, but didn't think he was good enough for them until the 5 star guys he was pursuing all turned the U down.
Also, 3 guys transferring in one year who would have gotten significant playing time would seem to indicate there is something strange going on there. Not saying he isn't a good basketball coach, but he might me a little bit of a maniac who is hard to play for, ala Rex Walters.
