[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 378881, member: 2299"] IMO there are two way to look at things. Just looking at what we did last year, what we lost, and what we gained, I don't think you can be anything but disappointed. Last year we were a solid team, and this year we have two bad losses. A large part of that is injuries, but I can't help but feel we should have two more victories anyways. I don't think the staff has done a great job at adjusting the offense to fit the change in dynamics this year. We have more shooters, both Alvarado and Haywood, but less shooting threat from the 4, although Wright has shown flashes. I would have expected us to become a bit more of a 3 out, with a high post/low post game, but instead we keep insisting on running AD out to the top of the key. Last year was so good because the offense, especially, seemed designed to fit the players we had. This year it doesn't feel the case. However, looking at it big picture, I don't see how anyone can't think we are ahead of schedule still, even with the setbacks. Looking at the roster in 2015 would have told you we were going to be young this year. 5 seniors plus 3 juniors and no real time going to underclassmen. However we have a proven all acc level wing in okogie, a high performing PG in Alvarado and another sold wing in Haywood. Add to that Devoe and Moore and we are poised to have the best backcourt we've had in a decade plus in the coming years. Bigs aren't in the same situation but we have a staff that has already proven to be able to develop bigs and I don't see how anyone can look at Wright and not see the potential. Nice touch on his jumper, and a very good athlete. He does need developing but again, our staff has shown to be able to do just that. Long term the only real question for me is can the staff land a true center that can be an impact or can they adjust to having a two PF system and make it work. I was pegging year 4 as the year we should be back in the NCAAT but I could easily see next year with some solid development, So yeah, we should be disappointed, but I guess the fact we can even be disappointed this year shows how far we have come from two years ago.
