This is DW's 5th year, not his 2nd.

All of these players are his players. No leftovers from someone else. Hicks is a talented player who has contributed. Gilmer and Koshuta were highly rated but haven't contributed this year. We beat Penn State who is 8-13 with no signature wins. Lost to Georgetown who is 12-9 with no signature wins. We did beat UT at home (they were limited to 6 players) but it was still UT at their place so that's a plus. We should beat GT, Pitt and UNC. Duke and the Hoos are a toss up. If we win the 3 we should and 1 of the others, then that's progress. Anything less, its time for a change. Several have said the coaching uncertainty is a liabiliy for recruiting. I can see that but would a 2 year extension help. And why would you extend 4 or 5 years at this point unless we win 20 plus, a couple in the ACC tourney and go to postseason?
