Next year we will have talent. My biggest fear is that we waste that talent with bad coaching.

We had talent last year but it was difficult to get that talent to perform. Last year was more about managing those egos and not Xs & Os. So while Red did a decent job with the managing of players, we really did not see his BBall chops. This year we are, and it is scary.

I think it was a huge mistake only brining in 2 HS kids in this class. We need talent. Was the strategy to prioritize the portal instead? If it was, the portal talent evaluation was a failure. The talent evaluation is a major concern.

We have brought in 8 portal guys under Red and only 3 are productive. Missing 5 of 8 for HS kids is bad. Portal kids you should have a better idea of what you are getting, so it is really really bad. On top of that he cannot figure out who to play within the lineup.

Now to be fair needing 8 portal kids is on JB and not Red. Had we only needed 1-2 kids a year via the portal things look a lot better. I am sure that there isn't enough talent in the portal to fill those 8 spots. But that brings me back to why in the heck do you not take another 1-2 HS kids this past class? It makes no sense.
