These Losses are not Upsets

[Chescat]

As I watch these repeated
losses to lower level teams,
I've come to the conclusion
that we wouldn't beat these
teams if we played them
again. IMO there is talent
on these team's rosters
that plays better than our
supposed better talent. It's
not all coaching either. I
feel Capel has totally lost
this program, not because of
in game X's and O's, but an
inability to recruit and retain
ACC level players. I thought
Jeffress was an ACC talent,
so far he's not even close.
The only two IMO are Femi
and Hugley.

I posted in another thread that
the Citadel's Brown is better
than anyone we have. UMBC's
Kennedy would start for us and
be one of our better players.
Their 3's weren't luck (yes our D
is bad) but they CAN shoot. In
fact, they're far better shooters
than our players. It's sad, but a
lot of it is TALENT, or lack of it

There isn't one team on our entire schedule that should be an underdog to us, including in the OOC. We're lucky we won the 2 games we have won.

Agreed, its not all coaching but it certainly blows all kinds of holes in his recruiting philosophy here. We simply cannot go after the Top 50, its a waste of time. As someone else said in another thread, imagine if they had spent their time recruiting the kinds of kids who nobody else wanted and had a chip on their shoulder???

Even this season, we might have secured recruits that chose VCU and Cincinnati.

So far, the only team I
felt was worse than us
was UNCW. They were
REAL bad. Towson, we
won but it was two same
level teams IMO. I thought
the others were better.
The Citadel made us look
overmatched, and UMBC
today out played us, out
shot us, and IMO wanted it
more.
