I love Coach Young's personality and clearly he is a capable coach whose

offensive scheme can create problems for more athletic and talented teams. I had thought bringing the program back from the decimated state Buzz left us in, the general trajectory of the program with several recent NCAA tournament appearances, and the ACC championship were really going to elevate us. However, to me it doesn't seem like we are still trending up. It doesn't even seem like we are treading water. The state of the program generally seems like we are going back to the middle-to-lower ACC tier that we were in pre-Buzz. NIL, transfer rules, and our system of basketball all seem stacked against us in recruiting. What do you guys think? Give me some optimism. ** Edited by goodbadugly at 4/18/2023, 11:37:01 AM

Do we think that’s true though? I felt like last year was THE year

Got it. **

Agree mostly, but correction - we’ve had 13 NCAA tournament appearances.**

That’s why I said before 2016, we’ve had 5 in the last 6 seasons**

It's funny because Maddox wasn't even supposed to take that shot vs Clemson

That's 50 percent of "plays " in the history of basketball

Who was supposed to take the shot?**

There shouldn’t be any optimism if we can’t drop 6 figure NIL bags,
