I don’t think his second team is better than our starters. On paper because it’s highly ranked freshmen who maybe but I’d take a wager on that game. My point is if they can throw money at guys and get them to come even if it’s very possible they don’t play ( even if talented) then good for them. That’s a handful of teams that can do that and that’s not sustainable. It’s basically a hybrid strategy to what Cal was doing at UK.

I get it, but every year there's another reason why everyone else is good and we're not.

What's not sustainable is losing more than you bring in year after year.

Notre Dame looks good, Louisville looks better. We dont have those automatic wins this coming season.

We’ve gotta prove we are good by being a good team on both ends and making the tournament. Right now that’s gotta happen with a combo of talent, players improving and coaching. So it’s not good enough until is and all we have is numbers we are worried about and unknowns.

That K St elite 8 team came out of nowhere with a roster of guys no one was going to be selling to win more than half their games. Now they didn’t do much since that year but point is- you just have to go out and prove it. That’s where Red is at. It’s why if this roster with Lampkin is what he and staff are confident will get it done (plus a couple more guys I hope) then it’s just a matter of let’s get the kids on campus and get to work and hope the tide turns.

Assuming Lampkin is here and Westry is healthy it's still a bubble team. If we bring another solid guard in then things change.

Carlos was brought to backup up Leffew (who I dont think is that great). He's a starter because we missed out on other targets, that's it and people around here want to sell this as something different.

Assuming JJ doesn’t improve , Moore and Cuffe
don’t give much and Bell is the same player I agree on your first statement. To which I think the conservative take is to expect minimal improvement

And this is all I'm saying.

It's hilarious that we can have different opinions and go back and forth. I'm appreciative that you can write something other than

"You should be a nba gm"
"Ive had him ignored for years"

I think it's more than cash.
It's also cachet.

But seriously that's a pretty good line. Well done.
