The Cats are a good team. They might have great nights, but not sustainable with a lack of natural talent.
There is a reason that these 4 and 5 year players are still in college and not on NBA rosters.
I love this team's maturity, but with that comes downfalls. Less talent. Less speed. Less quick twitch athletes that can blow by players or out jump them. Players that can just go get you a bucket when you really need it, against another really good player or team.
We've had that in the past, but no experience. That will change after Pope has a couple recruiting classes.
I'm a firm believer that coach is getting all he can out of the team. He's a really good X's and O's guy. So combining his coaching with a couple great players every year will be the magic combo.
I'm ecstatic with what he's done in such a short time and it's really hard for me to not get stoked about this year. But I also have to see the truths. There might be 3 bench playing NBA guys on this team... but zero starters. That usually doesn't get a team to cut down the nets.
I'm hoping the cats get 2 wins in the NCAA and if they get to the elite 8, then that's just icing on the cake.
My expectations on April 15th were way less when we had a roster with zero players.. lol
Go cats and Merry Christmas gang.
