Ridiculous hot take.
Brown was already gone for most of 2018. Walker was not very helpful for most of 2017. So we had about one combined full season of Brown-Walker.
To that, we add the rest of our returnees, with one more year of experience, plus the new guys (transfers, etc.).
And, with that, it's "NIT at best"? Yeah, it's way too early to make that assessment. As we have seen before, Coach L is at his best (at Miami at least) with his more-experienced/not-quite-star-laden teams.
We will have some struggles with the ACC blue-bloods, but there is no reason to think that this team isn't capable of putting together an NCAA resume. "NIT at best" is just not true. At least not at this point.
