I think that a core key for us is going to be Norchad Omier. He fouled out against kentucky and Colorado and we got steam rolled. But when he was in those games, we were in those game. He is 1 of our big 2 this year and may be the most important. There is still enough time for this team to get...

100% Once this team figures out how it wants to play big games and how to win then the overall talent should shine again. Our starters are very good on paper. Christian Watson hasn't made as big a jump in year 2 as say B joseph or Wooga but he's looking far more comfortable out there and he's...

I took Wong for granted but he was sort of the top dog here for the last 2 years so he had time to figure it out. Wooga has more talent than Wong but he hasn't yet taken over an important game. He'll get some chances before the year is out to grow in the leaership department.

I do not think that our bench is worst than last year, its probably the same or better. The only guy who we lost from the bench last year that really sort of mattered was Harlond Beverley. I challenge that K George replaces him at almost an even level right now. The other bench guys(Favour...

I don't know. Benz is considered a very high level defender at any level while Pack will certainly be a top offensive player in the ACC next year. If Pack shows that he can score consistently on bigger guards and Ben gets his scoring up to about 12ppg, with his defense and experience I don't...

I think the buzz came about because George has played professionally in France and at their highest level already. Its pretty much a foregone conclusion that he can handle the ACC. He's a 20 year old freshman so he should hit the ground running. I do think that Benz is going to have another...

We will have a deeper bench to go to this year. We also have much more height. Mike Nwoko will be able to give us backup minutes at the power spot that we didn't have last year.

I don't think size at the guard position is really gong to move the needle in any direction. Instead of trying to add another guard we could just add another forward. AJ Casey or Nwoko might be ready. They don't have to be world beaters yet, Wooga, Nigel, Matthew and Norchad can do the heavy...

And the new standard is set!

Omier will be back. I think he needed a year to adjust to the ACC. With a more expanded role and a better idea on what he needs to improve on to get to the league, he'll be good for us next year and potentially become a draft pick. He has the physical tools to play at the next level. With a...

Who said that?

This guy was a tier 2 France Pro league player. He's going to need some seasoning. He should be better than a typical freshman but he'll need a year before he's ready to probably even start.

Even if you feel this way, make your point and move on. No need in going after people who feel different. If your facts don't convince them then what else can be done? And I obviously disagree with your point about it taking years to level up in recruiting.

Well i was here when it was just basketball nerds we still had our spats but this whole calling groups of people "moronic" who disagree with you has the stink of the football board. Nobody wants that crap here. Hopefully we'll learn from that board and have a better culture here. You're a vet...

Is your argument that recruiting 5 stars doesn't matter and we should not endeavor to recruit them? I'm not sure what your angle is. I respond that Coach L has not needed multiple years to upgrade his recruits ranking level and you respond by telling me that bruce Brown and Lonnie didn't win? So...

I don't doubt Coach L's ability to out coach the blue blood teams. But your program mocves forward with talent infusions once coaching is in place. There's precedence with Coach L. He was the NIT runner in 2015 up and then he made the sweet 16 in 2016 and he went from Anthony Lawrence Jr, Ebuka...

Stop being so sensitive and in your feelings. This is the most benign criticism in the history of any board ever and your panties are in bunch? Nobody said fire the guy, nobody said we're gonna suck next year, nobody said Coach L sucks, many just respectfully said they were concerned. No, its...

So you don't believe that success on the court should lead to success in recruiting?

The best players have already been signed by the best teams just like it has always been. We'll find somebody because there are over 1000 payers in the portal. But there is a reason that the fat cats signed the best players whatever the cost. They got a lot better for it. We've got to keep...

That would certainly restrict the type and year of the players we could even recruit.
