It wasn't "very" late season - we lost 3 games after January 28th. On the basis that there are a number of good players on this team and that L is an excellent coach. His teams usually get better as the season wears on.

No one said there aren't "challenges". Do you think there weren't "challenges" the last 2 years? You're misremembering if you think all last season we were confident we had an elite team. After getting blown out by Maryland, we were concerned. After the horrific GT loss, we were concerned...

Our NET is in the mid 50s and we're in the top 30 of the polls. We're 1 or 2 good wins away from being exactly where we expected. It's way too early to be talking like that.

Idk if there was actually draft buzz. Guys with draft buzz don't get ranked outside of the top 200.

He's not a typical freshman. He's old for his class and has been playing in Europe.

It passed. But grads can enter anytime

I prefer nothing

As of now, I think it's Joseph. Joseph closed games instead of Wooga for the first half of last season. If Pack and Joseph can close games together, they can start games together, too. Maybe George, Watson, or Casey take a leap this offseason and claim a starting role, like Wooga did last year...

I think that's right, but I don't think we need all of our starters to be dynamic shot creators. If he can maintain his ~40% 3pt shooting on higher volume, he'll provide the spacing that the rest of the starters need to create shots.

FSU's big guy is favored to go to Cuse. There could be others. There have already been at least 6 or 7 (Cleveland, Girrard, Cormac Ryan, Danilo, NC St and Clemson swapped players, etc.) That same account, Trilly Donovan, had previously said Vandy was leading for Lubin (although obviously that...

You can say that about a lot of D1 players.

I think Joseph will start. I'm guessing he would've hit the portal if L didn't tell him he would be a starter next year.

You can deny that you're being a mope, and that you're just expressing unbiased opinions. I'm fine with that, I won't argue it. But you were the eternal optimist. Go back a few pages on this board, when we were awful. You posted all of the time, putting a positive spin on everything (while not...

I'm curious if you have a recent example of a team that leveled up in recruiting after 2 good years.

Oh yeah, I forgot about our incredible recruiting classes following 2013... It took a few years for L to improve our recruiting. And I don't think 2022's 10 seed that made a Cinderella run is as impressive to recruits as we think it is; 2023 is a different story. But no, my point is we don't...

And those 5 stars won 0 tournament games here. Yes, Omier and Pack were huge additions last year, but the 2022 team won 26 games and got to the Elite 8 without any big fish in the portal. I don't want to go back to getting 1 and done's. UNC, Nova, UVA have all had sustained runs of success...

2023 was great for any program, agreed. A blue blood wouldn't consider 2022 "great". We finished 4th in the conference and were a 10 seed. We beat a #2 seed, which was great, but got a favorable draw in the Sweet 16 before getting pummeled in the Elite 8. If Duke had a season like that, their...

It doesn't matter what I "believe". It matters what the reality is. The facts suggest that we shouldn't expect to be launched into another recruiting stratosphere after 2 good-to-great seasons. A lot more goes into recruiting than that. Since winning the title in 2012, Kentucky has 1 Final Four...

What has happened to you? I'm getting close to putting you on ignore, which is crazy considering you were the only one posting on these threads as recently as 18 months ago. No matter how bad we were, you would almost always predict that we would win the next game. You were such a loyal fan of...

Rebuild??? We are very likely to bring back 3 starters and the 6th man from a Final 4 team lol as well as a handful of other guys that spent the whole season practicing in our system. Is UConn "rebuilding"? This is college basketball. It's a new team every year. Unless Pack and Omier shock the...
