13-7. I'll bring it up again. there is absolutely nothing logical about that prediction. We were like 5-5 and you were sticking to that. Yeah, we were gonna finish 8-2. Your outlook is colored with your fandom. Its like these are your children, and they can do no wrong.
I thought Miller didnt have his best year this year. Does that mean I permanently think that Miller is a terrible coach? NO. But he had a crap roster this year that he put together. Own it and move on.
So moving on, I'm carefully watching the moves we make over the next several weeks. I think losing all 3 of our big guys is a problem. Maybe he wanted them to leave, or maybe he didnt. But we for sure now need a starting Center and a backup big from the portal from the portal that is sparce with quality bigs. Supply and demand basics will mean that we will need to overpay for average bigs, which will limit what else we can do in the portal. And we need shooting. Like, ALOT of shooting.
And I said, lets see what the role will be for this guy. If he's the replacement for Qunicy (who replaced Boum nicely), then i think we might be in trouble. Thats a "meh" pickup. But if hes a rotational guy then thats actually great.
And maybe I'm wrong and this guy goes from being a 30% shooter to a 40% shooter....but how often does that happen?
i thijnk the roster management has been iffy for the last 2 years. Sean inherited the team last year and really only added Boum to replace Scrugss. he did a GREAT job of tinkering the offense and we had versatile guys like Colby, Jack, Free, Kunk, etc. But we also kept Tandy, Ceasar, and Miles as dead weight. And that cost us, casue this year we had to try to make a run at it with a bunch of spare parts. and it didnt work, and we are in EXACTLY that spot again. We are not close to being competitive. We need a MAJOR talent influx. Adding a 5th year guy from a .500 Furman team doesnt excite me, especially for the long term.
