…the silver lining is that one top recruit can turn things around. Two top recruits could mean ACC elite and three top recruits could spell Final Four. I know, that’s a very tall if not impossible order with the current staff, however, one or two changes in that staff (albeit something Dixon hasn’t shown a fondness toward) could pay instant dividends. There is no indication that any of this is on the horizon but if Dixon does someday see the light or is shown the light then basketball is a sport where big things can happen in a short amount of time.
I believe Dixon is still a very good coach but sometimes loyalty and/or stubbornness can derail a good thing. I think Barnes may be the type of AD who understands what he has in Dixon and also knows how to convince Dixon of what is needed to get things back on track.
