As I reflect, I'm trying to see what went wrong. We can all point to Mahaney, but he wouldn't fix much if he was who Dan hoped.  The bigger picture is that we really shouldn't have been trying to win a NC.  We brought in guys like Stewart and Ross and didn't develop them.  They didn't play enough last year or early this year.  Ball got on the court out of necessity but has holes in his game he's just now starting to fix (rebounding and defense).  This season should have been about development.

We've had big minute impact freshmen, notably Alex (technically RS), Castle and now McNeeley.  Donovan was good in a backup role.  But Hurley isn't going to have rosters that are really good every year until he plays the 4 star freshmen more minutes and lets them work through things. AK is on the floor way more minutes than he should be, and I don't mean the slump, I mean guys are better able to give 100% at both ends when playing at or below 30 minutes.

Hurley claimed freshman Stewart was on the short path to NBA.  Either he just flat out lied or Stewart hasn't developed as expected.  He shows flashes of that talent.  Then he disappears, but what I see when a forward disappears is that the other guys aren't putting the ball in his hands.
