    Because sometimes fortune smiles on you and sometimes it doesn't.

    James Banks was a top 50 recruit according to Scout last year, while Grant Williams didn't crack the top 100. But Grant Williams was 1st team all-SEC for Tennessee this year, and James Banks barely got minutes. I guess you can make the argument that Barnes has coached his guy up better than we have, but that's probably not the case. It's probably just that Williams was a much better player all along and the recruiting assessment was flawed.

    That's just one example, but the point is you can be a good coach and take a while to build a good team, you can also be a bad coach and luck into a good team quickly. Because there is luck of the draw involved.

    Scout =/= actual scouting

    There is zero logical argument that we should be better next season than we were this season. That is nuts. It is absolutely nuts. All kind of people with “feelings” that we will be better next year, and “feelings” that we won’t miss Mo Bamba next year; that’s called blind, homer optimism- and it’s completely illogical.

     

    I probably had unrealistic expectations last year because I thought based on others' evaluations that  Bamba, Coleman, and DO would be better than they were.  At this point, it's pure hope or check out as a fan.  Hope that the incoming class will be better than expected, that Jones will be able to get back into form, and that Coleman, Sims, and Febres will show some improvement.  With no true center maybe Shaka will go back to Havoc.  There is a dream scenario where we are better, but no it's not based on a logical projection.

    So, the new message board doesn't include a new offensive coordinator?

    Some assembly required.  Warranty neither implied nor offered.
