While I get the sentiment of your comment we all know that a lot of the “elite” talent in the portal is not going to pan out.

I think people are having trouble with headlines.  I could care less what Kentucky and Uconn are doing right now but I do care about the ACC.  Personally I expect to be top 6 in the ACC this year which means a no sweat Selection Sunday and decent NCAAT seed.

Just for reference the below 10 teams have lost a net of 63 players ...Most of these teams also don't have top tier talent coming in either or have only grabbed 1 guy from the portal or none.  Maybe you could argue some of these squads have returning talent but really not many of them.

ND -6 net players portaled out (On3)
GT-7
UNC-7
NCSt-7
VTech-6
BC -9
Wake-7
SMU-5
FSU-5
Stanford-4

Meanwhile Cuse is 4 out the door and 4 in right now on the portal + 2 Euros + 1 Frosh +2 Returnees.  We are prob 3-4 guys away from a complete roster all with a new coach and new staff and it's only April 15.

Right now there are like 5 other new ACC coaches and a bunch of other coaches not sure what they're doing.  Yet people are after Gmac because we haven't brought on enough "elite" 5 star guys that have name recognition.

I say patience my young Padawans
