...just not that good.
I love these kids who chose to wear the blue and white, but they're not anywhere good enough to be a dominant winning team like we want them to be. We can disect this team and this season all we want, but ONCE AGAIN, like last year and many years since Calipari's high water mark of 2015, we are just not that good. Youth, injuries, and a stubborn coach (who was humble and grateful in the beginning but is now a person who now lacks the humility needed to continue here) equals the formula for wholesale losing.
You cannot go to war with green, inexperienced privates in your foxhole, you must have some John Basilone type warriors... and you know it and I know it, this will not change under Calipari. You cannot keep doing the same damn thing and expect a different result; on the contrary, with the portal and so much parity in college basketball, it is even more imperative than ever before to amass as much experience as you can. By the way, we would likely agree that three guys are the only ones who exhibit qualities of professional athletes: Antonio, Rob, and Reed. That is it. Let's see if others stay as they should or if we have the expected mass exodus.
No, I wish it were different, but we have considerable weaknesses in many categories...this team is just not that good.
