I've been consistent in saying that, on paper, the talent is better than last year.
I've said it recently, too.  We have the talent of a mid-level ACC team.

Don't forget, we have 2 Mc-D's AAs, one of the best pure shooters in the country, and guys who were stars on their mid-major teams. We just got a 4 star freshman guard who was one of the best shooters in HS last year.

Other teams collect this kind of talent and get much, much better results.

It is impossible not to notice that these kids don't play any defense AT ALL, and that is our primary problem.  Defense is all about coaching, execution, effort - and DISCIPLINE.

We lack all of those necessary elements for a functional defense.

And I'm not even talking about his changes in player rotations, player snubs, failures to call timeouts when needed, not really have any patterns of play on offense.  Those things are all obviously problems, too.

What are they working on in practice?  Seriously.
