[QUOTE="wgdsr, post: 4122441, member: 7179"] first, given your standing with the hoops team, i'll say have patience as 'cuse plays a typical brutal schedule, or even moreso as the acc is repeating doing 6 games. they could surprise to the upside, but there are likely to be some L's as even the best teams take them nowadays, and 'cuse has some work to do. others have covered some of the O personnel. so only things i'll say on that are: they lose 40% of their assists (most from one guy to grad) and they collectively or thru an individual or 2 need to find a guy that raises their game in that regard. a lot. they return just 4+ apg. hiltz is a candidate, but that's more likely to come if they are big on cutting/movement and not as much on dodging/drawing even with more touches for him. and that may leave them short a finisher. they do have guys that can get a step. also reports are gait's going to allow some more freedom, so take that as high risk/reward, more turnovers, faster pace. there will be times when that snowballs good and bad, prepare for elation and hair pulling. their main issue will be defense even if they can match or better offensive output. acc gave up 10-11+ gpg and cuse 14. top goalie is gone in addition to just too many disconnected D possessions. slides wrong time or not there, not covered up, etc. hopkins under petro had similar issues, to me it's often about instinctual players and i don't know how many cuse has on the roster rn. plus new goalie (orange also lost their top ssdm, a close d), and new system-ish. i think you'll maybe see some surprises on the back line with fresh eyes and they will learn on the job. faceoffs or riding or other turnovers created need to get better, personnel probably dictates it has to be one of the latter 2 or they will be running uphill all year with their schedule. they do have some elite experience back. again, they could surprise to the upside if they're on the same page as a team and fill holes, correct deficiencies. ftr, not as any kind of referendum on prior coaches, a number of players are excited as well for the new ones.
