[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 951685, member: 2299"] As opposed to what? Going with players who played on other teams that only won a few games instead? I believe the only player we have on a team who made the NCAAT last year was Dowuona and I think his situation pretty clearly shows why he isn't an ACC caliber starting player. Sturdivant/Coleman/Terry/Kelly played for a 15-18 Abram played on a 12-21 Ole Miss team. Reeves played on a 16-17 Flordia team. Gapare played on a 15-16 Umass team. Claude played on a 18-16 WCU team Forest played on a 5-27 Presbyterian team. We won't be fielding a starting 5 with players from teams with a bunch of success last year so that point doesn't seem to really mean much to me. Also, when you look at our issues last year it was mostly, although not entirely, in the front court. Once Franklin adjusted and played better the team played significantly better. Hopefully Claude can step in and replicate that, and hopefully adjust better. I don't really see any alternative though. I think the belief that Dowuona is a starting caliber center is a pipe dream. The other issue was we really didn't have a good situation at the 4 spot. Moore wasn't ready, and Meka was a bad fit offensively. Coleman clearly wasn't that comfortable at the spot and it looked like his offense game was affected by it somewhat. But I don't see Gapare being anywhere near ACC ready, and none of the other transfers seem to address that issue either. I don't think Reeves is any better a fit for that spot than Coleman and he's just a more inefficient offensive player. Could our back court improve? Sure. But it isn't like we're bringing any proven all conference level players or something. [/QUOTE]
