Agreed about this supposedly being “the year”.
Disagree about the talent. I’ve come to accept the fact it’s coaching failures. Inability to coach up. Inability to develop players. Playing favorites. Dog housing players for no reason (see Xavier Harris, et.al.,), screamer’s mentality, players checking out. And yes, some recruiting misses.
Yeah when I visit BCN, some posters want Vigen to scream and show more emotion. I don’t think those kids need to be fired up anymore than they already are. I’ve always thought “if you need someone to fire you up to run out of that tunnel you’ve already lost”. Especially with our new run out. It’s incredible. Even mid game. Don’t you think those kids know they messed up? They’re running on adrenaline highs and you’re screaming at them. Idk, I don’t think it’s productive.
To your talent part, if you don’t recruit well or develop you are left with a gap in talent. I do think next years team without a plethora of transfers will have a steep learning curve.
