JJ was dealt a really bad hand when DFS left and Harrell chose not to come, and then Wood's injury. The staff and team get a pass for this season I think. There just weren't enough players with talent to be effective over the course of the season. We had some early tough losses in the ACC and never recovered. Erick Green had a great year obviously, but he came a long way from a terrible freshman season averaging only 2 PPG and shooting badly. Eddie, Brown, Raines, Barksdale, and Rankin have shown well at times, but none were consistent. Smith transfers in as a scorer, and a truster TSL poster calls signee Ben Emelogu a steal, a baller. Next year's team will have a full roster of scholarship guys, including 6 guys 6-8 or better, two 7 footers or so. We'll have a European PG built like a linebacker in 6-2 228 Mueller. At times this year the first guy off the bench was a walkon, a recipe for disaster in the ACC. It's easy to understand why the effort lacked at times this year, with the losing streak and lack of depth. During the off season JJ will have to study film and decide what defense he wants to implement and what offense to run, and when practice starts make it clear that all positions are open to be taken.
