The problem is most of the evaluations of a player's "talent" are based on what he did in high school against players who lacked his size or athletic ability, (which is not "talent"). We see guys who dominated in high school all the time who have trouble adjusting to a faster game played by bigger, quicker people, (DaJuan Coleman) or guys who can run and jump but not play basketball, (Rakeem Christmas), all the time. It's actually the saving grace of college sports, which is dominated by budget, facilities, location, type of school and recent winning tradition. if everyone turned out to be no better or worse than they looked in high school, the same handful of teams would win all the time. We've got that in football because the sheer number of players needed but even there the Floridas, the Texases and the Ohio States have down years and schools like Syracuse can beat them because our players turned out to be better than thought and theirs not as good. 
 
That said, we've not really lost to a bad team all year and we've beaten some good ones, so the situation isn't all that dire. As said before, we just need to start making some shots.
