Great listen. Those guys seem very knowledgeable and were upfront with reasonable criticism. I'm more optimistic about the offense this season, and agree with almost everyone that the D will determine success.

They gave us an A for the offseason grade. Said we did everything right and that we have the talent to be a solid ncaa tourney team. Now it all comes down to Red and coaching. We have to have much better offensive actions that allow Nate George to get everyone involved and we have to play good defense.

Nice synopsis. I watched the video last night, and I agreed with almost everything they said. In particular, I liked the roster analysis, it seems to match up pretty well with what we think here.

I didn't like that they gave much of the credit for Nate George's excellent passing abilities to offensive scheme by Stoudemire. I thought that was a little uncharitable to minimize the kid's gifts that way.

They aren’t wrong about how Stoudemire set George up to succeed but it’s also true it wasn’t something overly complex he was doing with the GT offense either. They ran a lot of PNR, let him push the tempo and gave him space to operate. All things that are similar to what I’d expect Red to deploy this year.
