Our issue is that we have a lot of role players who are good at one or two things and who would not be starting on most top 20 teams. We lack complete players so it is what it is. As someone stated earlier, you look at the UConn - UNC game and those teams are legit and so much better.  I'm tired of slamming our guys for their deficiencies - they are mostly 2 and 3 star players. We do the best with what we have - for now. The goal is to get back to national prominence and be able to recruit several 4 and 5 star starters each year who bring a strong skill set to the table.  Talent matters and without it we will spend every post game complaining about player deficiencies, low basketball IQ, etc. The very good teams do not have the problem of having to take a bunch of projects and developing them for 2 or more years, or have them max out at a low level because they are who they are.  Bottom line is we need to be able to get commitments from multi-skilled high level players so we do not have to ask the role players to do more than they can.
