Exactly. My huge frustration continues to be: How could you not use the portal LAST SEASON (other than to fill the hole for a backup center)? It’s insane that we went into this year expecting to start Bell or Taylor at small forward. JB’s mantra for years is that most freshman generally aren’t ready. The only freshman who should’ve expected to start was Judah Mintz. I like Bell and Taylor and their potential as upperclassmen. But it was sheer craziness to go into this season expecting one of them to emerge as ACC starting SFs. It’s infuriating that JB actually tried to sell that to callers on his radio show the other night—that he had no choice. The assistants told him we needed to pound the portal but he refused, so that’s all on him 100 percent. An extremely poor decision that most fans on this board were saying was a mistake last spring. We should’ve been a tourney team this year, but JB dropped the ball. And he’s too stubborn and/or blind to acknowledge his failure. Btw, Dasher has also pointed out that Cole might have come back for another season if JB had bothered to re-recruit him to return.
