Teams have bad years. All of them.

If you expect to never do worse than treading water, you're setting yourself up for disappointment. The ACC Championship was awesome, but I think it put some out-of-line expectations into many minds. I don't think transfer rules work against us. We lose guys and we bring guys in. What does last season look like without Mutts and Basile? NIL? We'll see. I think in general, the teams that beat us for recruits/transfers are and will be the teams that beat us before NIL, so I'm not sure it's that big of a deal. I don't think our "system" is an issue at all.

I don’t think our recruiting issues are so much related to NIL, transfer

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.**

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?**
