It's unfair to say there was no cloud. When CNN is in front of your building talking about the death penalty, it affects the perception of your program. It hurt us most with national guys and JUCOs.
The bigger issue is the failure to identify and develop local 3-star talent. Guys who would walk through the cloud to play for Miami. The Louisville game crystallized that. They beat us down with those three-stars, while the kids we plucked from the Golden Camp watched from the bench.
This team has some premium talent. I'd pick our top four players over anybody's top four players. But there are no coal shovelers, to use a Goldenism, and those guys have nothing to do with the cloud.
real talk/real question for you D$:
do you think our staff could be expected to have developed those 3 star guys at louisville the same? would they have 'balled out' in our defensive scheme? I'm bearish on this staff and their ability to develop talent.
