I was hoping Straughn would be the guy to re-craft a more effective offense, as I believe he came in with a pedigree for that. I hope he still can be that guy.

We have shown some glimpses with better, quick passing and cuts at times in some games, but it's been the exception rather than the rule.

Are the players just not comfortable with new offensive sets as yet and we often revert to what they do know (basic iso ball) or do we just have players that aren't suited to run it (or don't want to?)

That last part in parentheses is the concern, as the root of an issue like that is players just doing whatever they want and not playing cohesively as a team... which is exactly what we saw last game.

Rome wasn't built in a day and there's no question things won't just magically click in year 1.

That said, we're gonna need some new players in from the portal along with the incoming freshmen as well, as a culture shift appears to be needed.

This was always the worry with an internal hire... Red is part of the old culture but needs to craft a new one... Can he do it?
