Message: [QUOTE="uh-no, post: 5005301, member: 12993"] maybe....but there is also a realization that the model that worked for about a decade of loading up on undeveloped 5 star recruits and out-talenting teams compensating for a lack of maturity, physicality, and cohesion is over. This is an issue when the current coach has not demonstrated an ability to develop anybody (given, n=1) and is depending on a crop of 5 star recruits. Last year was an underperformance based on what they had coming back and were expected to do. Nobody was expecting an elite 8 run, and there is a lot of fear that there will be more of the same this year. Of course there is the added salt that Uconn, whom is long hated there, has now far surpassed them, and is winning in the exact way that Duke fans believe duke should be (keeping players around, playing hard nose ball, and developing)...rather than having 7 players transfer.
