HUSID, thank you for the inside take, great stuff.
Now, let's get real on that stuff - me smells some bologna:
We keep hearing this bigger guards beat them narrative - interesting. Well Wormley is the only guard change in the starters, and he literally has
1 inch on BB. *1*. Angus def brings more size and beef to the post which I think is what is actually going to make the impact, but that has nothing to do with bigger guards beating HU's. I am to believe
1 inch in the guard core is going to make all the difference? Ain't buying it. Now I DO hope that Wormley is a MUCH better defender than BB, so perhaps the combo is what will make the improvement (which is what this staff
should've been saying).
But see so is Buie, and IMO Buie should be starting with Wormley off the bench to spot check certain scenarios and opponents. But hey let's see if the staffs planned roster usage actually works and makes sense this time...they have left a lot to be desired there.
8? No, they should be comfortable going 10 deep - there is no reason not to. They've had
plenty of time and pre-season games to get 10 ready to go.
Agree fully that this depth and new talent should allow for MUCH better defensive strategy. Question is will they actually implement and execute it?
Now, recruiting. LOL, oh boy, where to begin. So once again no one close to signing, yet other CAA and mid programs land commits? But it's all ok, right? AMAZING. Just AMAZING. That is complete horsesh!t. No issue with Juco's, but
no early signings is a flat out failure by this staff, and is unacceptable. The class needs are HUGE, 4-5 guys. You don't play games with that, you go out there and do your job and SIGN the required talent asap like
everyone else.
Team feels they can't throw freshmen into the fire up front to replace Rok and Sabety.
Really?? That's interesting considering that is EXACTLY what they did with Rok. See you only can't do that when you don't recruit properly. I really want to continue to love and support this staff, but my patience is about out. This really feels like they selling a bag of fake goods to us fans. Hope I'm wrong. Because for all this waiting game BS they have everyone doing, I expect the payoff will be SICK/4* talent. Course, we all know that's not the case. It will be simply decent talent. The same they could and SHOULD be landing early.
There is absolutely no excuse for this paid staff not to land early signings 5 yrs in when their competition is doing EXACTLY that - absolutely NONE.
