Setting aside the immaturity and arguably character-revealing nature of what he said to Red’s son (truly an insane thing to say), his program ‘turnarounds’ just don’t look as impressive to me as I think they’re being portrayed.

I’m obviously not watching his games and not plugged into his recruiting and NIL.  I’ll trust that those are his strengths.

He won the regular season Sun Belt with Ark St.  That’s of course not bad.  But it looks like 1 game separated the winner of the conference from 5th or 6th?  Winning your conference is good, but that doesn’t exactly jump off the page as ‘oh dang, snatch up this rising talent now.’

USF is okay this year; better than last year.  That’s good.  It looks like they have a couple good wins and some really bad losses.  I know records don’t exist in a vacuum and circumstances matter, but dude is going to have double digit losses in each of his first three seasons and probably, barring a late run by USF, no tournament appearances.

I like offense as much as the next guy.  I don’t like the idea of a play style that is so seemingly dependent on hitting shots that you could take out a top 10 team one night but lose to a bottom 10 team the next.  Doesn’t seem sustainable.
