With wins over FSU, UVA, GTech, and Clemson. So many scenarios where if 2-3 close games went our way that we would be in if we beat Miami, and grab one in the ACCT. Personally, I think we are a tournament team. The team as it is now probably would have at least beat ND, and VaTech at home. If Marek doesn’t get a phantom 5th, we beat Clemson. It’s been a disappointing season that should have been better with the talent we have. Granted, it could have been a lot worse after how things started, so it’s also been an enjoyable season in some ways. The improvement, and not just folding up shop when things were grim, along with the coaching job by JB. With the strides they have made, and how they are capable of playing, I’m excited for the future. Many are worried that without Elijah we are looking at a trip to the NIT next season. I think we’ll be fine, and get back into the big dance. Or again, since I’m not counting us out just yet this year. It could be a bubble team along the way again unfortunately, but I’m confident we end up on the right side of it when all is said, and done. Add Towns, and/or Tape, and we’re in. Especially Towns, but I love what Tape would add to the team. Just isn’t as big of a need with a senior Sidibe, JBA/Jesse, and then Marek in a pinch. A lineup of JG3/Buddy/Towns/Marek, and Sidibe/Tape, with Quincy, and whatever guard steps up off the bench is top 25 quality. And top 4 in the ACC good. Scorers at every position, and three shooters again. Still small up top on D, but Goodine can be that guy when needed, in my opinion. Solidly 8-9-10 deep. I don’t want to lose anyone, but Carey seems to be the odd man out, and then Braswell if both grad transfers come since the two frosh are coming in. HW can backup the point. JBA/Jesse wouldn’t see much time if Tape came. I guess Woody would technically backup Towns, but rarely see action in big games. Really would like to hang onto Braswell. Missing out on Towns would probably keep him around, so we can reap the rewards when he’s an upperclassman. Like when Dior gets here, and we make a run at cutting down the nets. Just like Southerland could have been the missing piece in 2014, if he had redshirted a year, Braswell could be that guy in 2023. Obviously we would sacrifice that possibility to improve our chances next year. We shall see where the chips fall, but we’re finally stocked up again for the foreseeable future. [/QUOTE]
