I don’t think it’s a matter of trying hard, or communication. I think it’s a 100% talent issue. We have a decent rebounding team but have the following challenges. Poor shooting team from 3, poor FT shooting team, poor at blocking shots, poor at getting steals, poor at getting deflections, poor at driving to the basket outside of 1 guy, poor at ball handling outside of 1 guy. Bell is a very good shooter, when he is set and open otherwise sub par at defense, rebounding, passing and dribbling, occasionally he will block a shot from behind after turning it over. Cuffe plays hard but is limited in size, has a poor handle, is not a good passer and sub par shooter.

I could go on about each player but each one is limited in some way as everyone knows. I think the coaching is sub par in part because they are struggling to find a solution with all the missing parts. Losing Leffew, Freeman, Westry (we think), Brown, Mintz and maybe Copeland killed us. I would take Benny back for his athleticism, blocked shots, despite him being a headcase. He is not doing much at UCF. Bottom line is we have missed on most recruits, lost the good ones for various reasons. Roster management, raising capital and keeping your best players is all on the coach staff. It’s no longer 100% about development and high school recruiting only and why many of the elite coaches have hung it up. New game better adapt.
