There has to be a new assistant.  
We have to keep Moore, Freeman, and Petar.

JJ is not good enough to be our "star", but he would be good as like a 2nd offensive option.

A lot of problems could be solved with a really elite PG from the portal, with the whole package.
And then we need a very good portal center who can protect the rim.

We need to institute a functional offense.  I would like to see a high-low double post on offense with Portal Center on the low block, and Donnie Freeman at the high post.

I'd like to see back-door cuts, screens along the baseline, screens for cutters crossing the lane.  Much more motion, much less standing around.  Functional high-ball screen offense.

On defense - where's the tempo?  Where are the changes?   Play some press and fall back into a 2-3 zone like Pitino used to do at Louisville.  Other times, pick them up 3/4 court man-to-man.  Guys play hard or they come out, period.

Donnie Freeman has to get stronger, or forget about it.

There is so much to work on.  Next year is do or die.
