The coach of those players has left as well. Three of our four commitments are gone (and the remaining one is considered to be on his way out.. only a matter of time). Most of the best recruits are already signed and accounted for elsewhere. 1/4 of the top 8 graduate transfer prospects are guys leaving our roster (best case, Blackshear comes back).

Optimism for the long term of the program is nice. Optimism for next year is honestly kind of pie in the sky. With Blackshear, maybe we're competitive in many games and flirt with the NIT. Without him, we might not crawl out of the basement. The ACC is brutal.
