[QUOTE="YlJacket, post: 802549, member: 2784"] I understand your concern - and agree that some of the returning pieces are less experienced/predictable than one might like. But most teams have at least a couple of guys who have to step up well beyond what they did the prior year and/or a talented frosh they have to incorporate. We are not going to be unique in that regard. The biggest con to an all cupcake OOC that I think is what you are suggesting is that it does put a big damper on getting an otherwise talented bubble type team into the dance. Red pointed out the recent NC State scheduling issue that kept them out of the tourney but there have been others. So the way I look at the idea is we may have more ability to play with rotations in the OOC but to what end? It likely would make the NCAAs a tough nut to get to and that is not what I would like to see. Without Moses or Jose we still should have talent to be a middle of the pack ACC bubble team. But part of this requires CJP to use the summer and pre season to get that talent in place to be able to execute in a legit (not overscheduled) OOC schedule leading into the ACC. While I too am still haunted by the 2 debacles early last year, it is still his job to be able to put those types of games in his back pocket (generally speaking). I would be OK with starting with a couple of directional sisters of the poor school but IMHO they need to throw in one of the preseason tourneys that allow the team to see where they stand and then sprinkle in a mix of mid tier bubble enhancing teams. As long as the tourney is the goal. [/QUOTE]
