Once again the same response I was getting last year when I made the exact arguments, it’s kinda funny. I keep repeating the same thing about quality talent / depth but that’s ignored. Fully healthy with adding guys returning from injury , Fr and 5-6 good portal options can make this team compete with most teams in the Acc. That’s why I said the ceiling is 8-9 wins, if everything aligns perfectly. Scheme , injuries and additions. The razor we’ll be walking next year is comparable to last season or thinner.

Great interview and very promising young man, but at 3:55 he didn't come across well...
Considering the failure that was the coaching staff last year I'm not sure giving you a flawless victory is the right conclusion to the discussion over last year's talent level. There were games where the team didn't look capable of competing in the Sun Belt. Those games weren't singularly a player issue.
If you wanna tell me we don't have a coach who can overcome things not perfectly aligning? No surprise. I fully expect us to look out of sorts and sometimes worse anytime we don't have a clear and obvious talent advantage.

Once again completely missing my points. I need to go bump the original post smh. On second thought I’ll just give up.
at the body fat question right before it
Yeah, I wonder if he peaked in HS. Homeboy had a bunch of those stars and some really good offers.
Meaning he is a great team player that everyone loves to have on the squad.
Flagg is like that and so is Restrepo. We won't win big relying on him, and that's not a slight on his skillsets, it's a simple fact.

Seems like we're working from a different definition of what compete means. Compete doesn't necessarily mean 'win'. It means to be competitive in a matchup - to be in the game, have a chance. You're going to have a difficult time convincing me, or I would venture to guess most, that we can't compete with Va., Va.Tech, GT, Syr., BC, Duke - even if dinged. The next tier up, below Clemson - we still shouldn't be boat raced except perhaps on occasion, IF properly managed.
Most observers rightfully question how well the '22 team was coached. Let's hope it doesn't become a trend. Just don't think it's fair to write off competitiveness (in most cases) due to lack of depth - even if razor thin. Other programs face similar challenges. The Wakes of the world can't 'Out Jimmy & Joe' their opponent, so they 'Out X & O' them on at least a semi-regular basis. We know that clearly Mario is in the talent acquisition business, but bring the same energy to scheming and putting the team you have in a position to win that you do to pointing out talent deficiencies.
@Cribby Do you see Cooper locking down the other guard spot
Of course we can compete with those teams. But if we're not differentiated, then it's a coin toss on who wins. So if we're 3-1 headed into conference, and we know we're a full deviation less talented than Clemson, 3-2. You have 7 more games. that's 6-6 or 7-5 type record if it's a coin toss, and can very easily be between 5-7 and 8-4 based on luck.

So far it’s the little engine that couldn’t…
There will be tons of players entering the portal after spring around the country.
Kids go through spring, see where they fit and make decisions.
The elite players at non-elite programs are hearing from back channel avenues on what they need to enter portal.
It’s a dirty game y’all. Keep ya mind on ya riches.

We need all hands on deck because that is how far the roster has fallen to parity with those teams.
Need proof? Look at results past 10 years.
Lol exactly you answered your own BS. Last year they said WRs sucked. This year no one is saying that. Matter fact, they are saying the opposite. Said Young is a dude, and the young guys are good but need to be consistent. Very different from saying they suck. But you think it’s going to be the same results as last year in a more simple offense.. Just let it play out man.
