[QUOTE="Techster, post: 969553, member: 360"] I only take umbrage with your argument because we've beaten teams with better talent, teams ranked higher than us, and played Georgia tough for a half. Clearly there's talent on the team or else we're not winning against teams that are clearly more talented than us. But to your point, we've also lost to teams with far less talent than we have. I just find it difficult to ignore what we've done to teams like UNC the last two years, Pitt last year on the road, and Miami (with help by their coach) and say the talent we have is "overblown". It's not like GT is recruiting at an elite level (top 10) where we can just show up. Our talent is at level (#36 talent composite) that we can beat a team like Miami or UNC (both of which are within 2 tiers of us), or lose to a team like BC (whose also within 2 tiers of us). The difference between maximizing talent and wasting talent is coaching. Just for kicks, I went and looked at CPJ's talent composite his last 4 seasons (2015-2018). It was a high of #49 in 2015, and a low of #54 in 2017. CPJ had a low of 3 wins in 2015, and a high of 9 wins in 2016. That's not far off of where we're recruiting now, it's just there was a better coach leading the team. As I said earlier, the talent band in the ACC is that which most teams are pretty evenly matched outside of the elite recruiting teams. If you want to say that our talent is overblown, it's well within your right. However, you're ignoring some wins that goes against what you're saying. [/QUOTE]
