Message: [QUOTE="Pudge, post: 4271561, member: 364"] Disagree You cannot look at a first round loss - the way it happened - and get to this take. I agree with much of what Fishy's take was. But, you just painted it into black and white. When on November One, we knew that answer was probably NOT a 2022 National Championship. It is grey. WE maximized development - imho - on Tyler Polley? on Isaiah Whaley? on RJ Cole? on Tyrese Martin? I think that discussion nearly unanimous on a "college" player. AJ Jackson? I think you come away with awe-inspiring possibility set - IF? The contra to any negativity any of you throw out? It is obvious that kid is a workhorse ... a gymrat? He can have an enormous development because to that aspect alone. You simply don't know what you are going to find? My disappointment in the Diggins, Samson, Gaffney ugly takes ... is "we weren't at practice". You saw enough in games to say: they were underwhelming. You can say look what Creighton did this year with FR or some other program. Development of college talent, early on, is their taking practice to the court. And ya know ... I don't want to hear about Rankings prior to November 2021 anymore. My names for 2022-2023 are Hurley having a strong bench of assistants. Murray, Moore, Young. Transfer Portal and fit into a conceptual vision of a program. Getting Karaban and Floyd to campus early was crucial to our future. Springs? Samson Johnson? If these guys look at the arc of Polley and to Whaley? How can they not see that this Staff develops you to your highest basketball earning potential. Cole & Martin too. I do not think I am automatically a "Blue Skie" guy. My darkest criticism of Hurley is the inability to make instant change on Gamedays. But he is still a relatively not-fully-developed coach himself: Both Calhoun Jay Wright were works in process when we see them make great leaps in genius. (a longer discussion) [/QUOTE]
