ESPN: Five burning questions, players to watch for the AAC in 2018-2019

It's not just buy-in. They have to basically relearn and forget a bunch of bad habits. Sometimes that happens right away and sometimes it takes 1.5-2 years

Ohio State:
2016-17 Thad Matta 17-15
2017-18 Chris Holtmann 25-9

Yes your one example is the rule. Nevermind all the other rebuilds that happen in sports, just look at this single example

You said, "Sometimes that happens right away and sometimes it takes 1.5-2 years." Scrutiner was supporting your claim by giving you one example where it happened right away. Not sure why you seem defensive in your post.

If that team is so untalented than
It must of been a miracle or incredible coaching that we won as many as we did.
There is a philosophy axiom.
Two contradictory things can ‘t both be true.
Last years team had 9-10 new players. They played against the best teams in the country with kids as young as 18 in key positions . whose youth rather than lack of talent was apparent.
This years team returns 9-10 hardened vets. All with game experience.They did pretty much quit on January 25 when that well time leak of an NCAA probe shourded their future in uncertainty.This was after their best performance since Gilbert’s injury. Ironically it was without Larrier the only player of consequence not returning. The administration made about as good a hire as possible. A guy who may be coaching one of his most talented groups he has ever coached.
He is Unencumbered by the sword hanging over his head that was ever present last year.
You have one possibly two great players playing with a team of hardened vets and a schedule that doesn’t include a single non conference road game against a decent opponent. There also is no infusion of inexperienced players that impede team building . Save one the adds were mature situational players in the Kromah model. The only freshman is a 6’4” 2 or possibly 3rd Guard with allegedly one of the sweetest jumpers we’ve seen here in awhile.
He does have a nice stroke and has played extensively against one of the best guards in college last
year , his brother , but he is a freshman so patience is in order.
This is my 65th season of following a UConn basketball and I
