I agree with this line of thinking and it absolutely shocks me how people can't see it.

We've been hamstrung by sanctions and the way that roster management, as a result of the trend towards early departures, has come together to impact the program at the same time.    Mix in some uncertainty around whether or not we were transitioning to Hopkins or not and I think you have the explanation for most of what we've seen in terms of the trajectory of the program.

That is behind us and by all accounts our incoming recruiting class is fantastic.    Mix that with the talent we have returning and we should see the trajectory change in the right direction.

I hate writing this season off, but it seems like we are pretty much at that point based on what seems like our ceiling (current record and what seems realistic on a go forward) at this point.   But the reality is that most objective viewers (along with this non-objective fan) wrote the season off before it started based on what seemed realistic given the roster we were going into battle with.   It's only because JB got more out of that collection in the OOC in terms of results that I reset my expectations and am now being forced to consider setting them back to where they were preseason.
