[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 904615, member: 2299"] Because pre season projections don't mean anything especially extremely superficial ones like this. How can we be patient? We have a team that has a good combination of returning experience and long term potential. We return our starting PG and Center, which are usually seen generically as the most important positions, and we have a multitude of options on the wing to put out alongside them. While Coleman, Kelly, Maxwell, Moore, Smith, Terry, and Franklin aren't nearly as proven as Devoe and Usher, it is a deep group to pick from which makes it more likely that we'll have one or two step up. We aren't going to play the average of that group. The best will play, which is why the depth is important even if we don't go 9 or 10 deep. Helps that Coleman, Kelly, Smith, Terry, and Franklin all have a good amount of experience playing at this level as well. But preseason projections are going to, understandably, go with proven returning talent even if college ball is what it is primarily because the best players are constantly moving on and there is always opportunities for new stars to shine. While projections aren't going to bank on it, I doubt anyone would really be surprised if we saw Sturdivant and Howard play at a solid ACC starter level and then a combo of, for example, Coleman, Kelly, and Maxwell step up and provide enough fire power to get us in as the 6th or 7th ACC team, or possibly 8th or 9th if the ACC is unexpectedly strong. Where the patience comes in is the roster. Going by Eligibility here is our roster. What I mean is if they have one year of eligibility left, I'm calling them a senior. Two will be a junior. etc. SR Franklin Jr Sturdivant Howard Terry Soph Coleman Kelly Smith Maxwell Meka Moore Fr Martynov Bagatskis Hill (Walk on but former 3* prospect who had multiple offers from Major P5 level programs) After this year we're only guaranteed to lose Franklin, and even after NEXT year we're still looking at 9 players who could be here in 2 years time. Obviously in today's age unexpected departures are a thing you have to live with so I highly doubt all 9 will be here by then, but it is likely we have most of our core for the 24-25 year currently on the team. So while the roster is set up where it could realistically have a surprise decent year, it's really well set up for sustained success in the years that followed building on what we do this year. This isn't like Gregory's last team where everyone was scheduled to leave and so we had to have the payoff then. [/QUOTE]
