I was being sarcastic, obviously.

As an analyst, you can surely appreciate that we are dealing with small sample sizes, both in terms of the number of players in a recruiting class and the number of rotation guys on a given team, and that unanticipated events (player performance, player development, injuries, early departures, transfers, NCAA sanctions) can in large part determine your fate both in the short term and long term.

That's why I believe JB's consistent record of success on the court is so remarkable. He has somehow found a way to win with very different rosters and varying offensive and defensive approaches. Last season, he took a thin team with defensive flaws on the interior to the Final 4 with an offense that was heavily reliant on the 3-point shot. Next season's team will likely be built around a strong interior defense and rely heavily on the transition game and offensive rebounding to generate offense. But I wouldn't bet against seeing another deep NCAAT run.

I get your frustration with the roster composition and would love have another impact player or two, but I'm confident JB and his staff will make this work. They usually do.
