Syracuse had barely a 500 record with a "talented" P5 team last year and the same record basically (1 less win) the year before with an "untalented" midmajor team too (a nonfactor PG and Center that didn't play defense).

I don't think people are watching beyond the headlines and that's ok.  We are not going to be playing for a Final 4 or maybe not even a Sweet 16 for another few years.  We are in rebuild after 5 years of garbage.

Tournament =Yes must have.

There are about 15-20 programs that are just buying their way into Sweet 16's each year.  That leaves like 60 P5 hoops programs chasing bids and we need to be better than about half of them.  That does not take some crazy amount of talent or even coaching.

With tourney expansion the ACC will be a 9 bid league so we need to be better than 9-10 ACC teams.  
If we even fill out our roster reasonably with bigs we should beat GT, ND, WF, FSU, Cal, Stanford, VTech, Pitt, and BC.  Then you hope to beat SMU, or Ncstates or Clemson's as well or steal one from the top of the league.  The teams I'm listing are not bringing in better talent than us and many have new coaches or coaches on the hot seat as well.

TLDR start watching what the ACC top to bottom is doing in the portal and you'll feel alot better.  and stop worrying about headlines of Uconn, Florida, Kentucky, and Michigan building Natty rosters.
