Well, they certainly got that one wrong. Honestly, at the end of last year, and after another late season flame out, I don't know how they could say, "Let's give him one more year." Steele had proven otherwise. And his first year at Miami has done nothing to say otherwise.

His team was picked to finish 11st in the MAC, they finished 8th and made the MAC tournament. That is definitely progress during year one.

You keep saying that. It doesn't make it true. The worst teams in the MAC just happened to be a bit worse than was expected. Miami was not better than expected.

Miami's KenPom was #268. Huzzah for Steele!!!!!

UC’s Davenport commits to Arkansas. Is he going to be a preferred walk on? What the heck did the hogs see that I didn’t?

And they went 12-20, with three wins being over D3 schools. Embarrassing non-conference schedule when you're scheduling Goshen (the college not the high school) and St. Mary of the Woods.

They were +300 at one point in the season, so I'd say that's progress.

St. Mary of the Woods - was that the college from Caddyshack?

If they sided with Steele, well, that says a lot.

Steele is exactly who we thought he was about 18 months in.

I think Olivari and McKnight could possibly be a slight upgrade over Boum and Kunkel. If Olivari plays any defense at all, then I'd probably lean that way...

I dont think McKnight or Olivari had really good assist numbers, but I think Millers system played a large part of the eye-popping team stats we had last year in that department.

Olivari would be huge. If Nunge, Free and Hunter return, we would be in good shape

Hunter and free appear to be coming back. Obviously nunge is gone. But agree with your sentiment- adding Olivari could make the back court better than it was last year. Dream scenario: add the SF from USC and Ike or the Virginia kid. (Ike is no longer visiting Providence, I saw)

Likely: just adding Olivari and a big we don’t know about yet.

Rock bottom can be brutal but 12 wins is a good start.
