Right now this simply isn't an ACC talent level program.

Only one player has significant ACC level experience and that is Bede - who I had ranked as the #80 player in the ACC last season (so basically a strong backup quality player).
FWIW, I had Blackshear at #4, NAW at #9, Robinson at #11, Hill at #43, Outlaw #58
Wilkins #111, Horne #129

The team this year is going to be very small and inexperienced and frankly not that talented.
The ACC may be down but take the roster and likely starting 5 and compare it to just about any other ACC teams' starting 5 and it isn't pretty.

Having a 20 game ACC schedule does not help either. Realistically if CMY wins more than 3-4 ACC games he should be COY.

Nolley should develop over time into a good ACC player - but at this point he is a former Top 100 recruit (who had told other programs recruiting him he didn't want to ever play at the 4, he wanted to play 3 and 2) who has not played a minute in a college basketball game.

Cone is a Top 100 prospect who re-classified up a year to come play right away. That puts him behind some older players.

Johnson was playing at the lowest level of Div 1 basketball in the SWAC. And was hardly a standout there.
Ojiako Has really nice long term potential, but to expect much out of him early is not realistic.

The starting 5 is likely going to have only 1 player with significant ACC experience and the bench may not have any players who have any ACC experience. This team simply lost too much talent and experience too quickly and this upcoming season will be the start of a huge rebuild.

I see 3-4 ACC wins and 7-8 OOC wins.
