Eh, have to be fair. Go look at Calhoun's run and tell me how many of the teams after his NC's made a dent. Most of them went kerplunk. Dude is a HOF coach.

I hope they finish strong within reason, maybe surprise us. Just don't want anything that that looks like a dysfunctional flame out that tarnishes the recruiting equity he's built with the 2 NC teams. The narratives are already bubbling, let's not feed those to a point they can be used against us in the recruiting wars. Right now I think top kids are willing to come here at a potential discount because they think they are going to have the best chance to win and turn into NBA players. If that starts looking like a mirage, would be bad. One rough season won't hurt much, but you don't want to reduce your room for future error. We need to keep our advantages over the power conference teams any way we can get them, and right now it's being a NBA development and NC factory. Can't lose momentum.
