I appreciate the fact that you're a big Canes basketball fan, but don't let that cloud your judgment. There's no way around it. This staff has done a terrible job the last 3 years on the recruiting front. The FBI excuse is played out. This assistants on the staff don't seem to be bringing much, if anything to the table and it's hurting the program tremendously. Adidas money has dried up and the staff's shortcomings are starting to show. I've said it time and time again, if only they made our state more of a priority. Have they offered any of the young kids from Calvary? Oak Ridge? West Oaks? Pine Crest?
Coach Hamilton is a good coach, but I don't think he's better than Coach L. Fsu's staff is doing a much better job of identifying talent early and going after it, and once in the program producing players for the league. A perfect example of this is Coach Ham got a marginal talent coming out of Dillard and turned him into a solid NBA prospect, while Miami signs kids from all over but for reasons unbeknownst to any of us don't seem to develop quite as well. Either our staff can't recruit well and/or can't seem to develop the guys they do get in. It's one or the other and it falls on the coaching staff. Again, Coach L has not forgotten how to coach. I still the offensive system he runs and the X's and O's makes him one of the better coaches in the ACC, but there's just so much he can do if he doesn't have the talent. Let's not be apologist for this staff's shortcomings and instead let's hold them accountable and demand they do their jobs at a higher level. GO CANES!!!
