Message: [QUOTE="NineOneSeven, post: 5370114, member: 871"] Lot of great points about last offseason. For me it’s not just about the guys we brought in, but the guys we got in addition to who we already had, and to replace what was lost. Bringing in guys to build a rotation isn’t the same as bringing in guys that are filling starting roles in the ACC. Freeman got hurt. Does it change trajectory of the year? Unlikely. But it didn’t help. My guess is by now he would have been our best player pretty easily. JJ and Bell simply weren’t good enough to be the ~best~ two returning players. Not only that, we saw some legitimate regression at times (Bell). Why? Who knows. Sometimes, players just are who they are. I think several things have all gone poorly from a roster/player performance/player development pov, AND the in-game coaching just hasn’t elevated the team enough. Both of these coexist, and it’s why we are 12-18 in a very poor ACC. [/QUOTE]
