While I agree with your sentiment in the first part about taking some time to get back to where we all want to be ie rankings and tourney runs that doesn’t mean we shouldnt make the tourney next year.

Making the tourney GMacs first year is non-negotiable for me especially with tourney expansion next year again. That means at minimum 9 ACC teams should be in.  So to not make it we’re talking about losing to Cal teams, VT, WF. And really there should be no reason we aren’t beating a mix of Clemson, FSU, Miami, SMU most years. Basically finishing bottom half of the ACC is not ok ever again.

And on your point about keep players. I just don’t agree. You cannot change a losing culture while bringing back so many guys. Maybe 1-2 guys you can bring back but 4-5 is madness. These guys lost to Hofstra and BC, that is just terrible effort. In the NIL era bringing them back is like rewarding guys for losing.

The only way they should be coming back is if we make extreme cuts to their NIL or tell them theyre playing an off the bench role until they prove themselves. There are going to be hundreds of guys that don’t need to be “coached” up to give effort.
