Well, I can now say I can watch without getting upset. Can’t defend the three, can’t pass, can’t rebound. Just have to WTNY. Sigh!!!
I am certainly not a statistics expert and I probably could not coach a rock throwing team. However, this coaching staff seems to be failing “the eye test” so to speak. Year 5 and only 1 point guard on the roster does not appear to be a recipe for success. Offering so many of the elite HS talents with so few takers does not appear to be a good strategy at this time. Poor fundamentals that seem to affect both the offense & defense. So many open scholarships and not a single player willing to come in with a work ethic to earn playing time as a guard or perhaps deemed worthy of an offer? Usually we have multiple departures after each season that do not appear to make sense from the outside. I realize that our head coach and AD are inseparably linked. I am concerned with what looks to be a decline in recent ROI in Wolfpack family investment. Other teams are taking what looks to be lesser talent and beating us regularly. Sorry for the rant. Just color me frustrated. Go Pack!! Prove my concerns to be unjustified!
My computer fried itself and I have just found my login. I just don’t understand Gottfried’s recruiting strategy. He never seems to have other options when 5 stars turn him down. At some point this staff must “coach up” a group of 4 stars/3 stars & make a winning team.
I am giving a pass on this season due to Lacey’s departure and Henderson’s injury. However, only having one guard on the roster in year 5 just seems unacceptable for a staff. I am concerned that our window of opportunity for a substantial recruiting run has passed this staff by. How can players improve in practice without substantial opposition?
I think that there needs to be a serious discussion with the staff if there is not substantial improvement next season. These are all his recruits and there has been staff continuity. What seems to make matters worse is that even though we are nowhere close to a full roster of scholarship players, we suffer from numerous departures.
My concern is that Yow & Gottfried are joined at the hip through 2019 no matter how it goes. I have been a Wolfpacker for so long, I don’t know how many more WTNY that I have left.
