By depth he means that our best player isn't that much better than our 11th best player. Our team is deeply mediocre.

@DavidGlennShow
[Redacted]: I have two responsibilities--to win and to uphold the integrity of the university.
@DavidGlennShow
[Redacted]: we're building this team to run. We gotta get easy baskets. It's a fun way to play.
@DavidGlennShow
[Redacted]: needed a coach to fill in a practice game. had Rusty and Randolph, I said "we're going with Randolph. Rusty I heard you don't pass"
@DavidGlennShow
[Redacted]: told Randolph to try to run the offense. 3 minutes in he took an ill-advised shot. He said "coach, I was open!"
This is so stupid.
RTC: Hot seat talk in the preseason is often a bit overblown, but who are coaches in the league that are certainly under pressure to win now?
Elmore: When you look at Wake Forest with Jeff [Redacted], that is going to be an issue right there. I think this is going to be a make-or-break year for him. Part of the fan base wants [Redacted] gone, another part wants athletic director Ron Wellman gone, and some others want both gone. Unfortunately, Jeff [Redacted] is definitely on the hot seat. I say unfortunately because [Redacted] is a solid teacher, he does well imparting the fundamentals, and has done a good job with some of the offseason stuff with some players over the last few seasons. I think when you look at Mark Gottfried at NC State, he is also a guy who has something to prove. He had some tremendous talent last season and the team just fizzled out. Beyond [Redacted] and Gottfried, you look at James Johnson at Virginia Tech and he just started, so he is going to be given a bit of a long leash. Brad Brownell does a great job with his guys at Clemson, but he has to get some players in there. Miami is going to be down this year with all its departures from last season, but no one can argue with Jim Larranaga and what he has been able to do with that program. I think when it comes down to it and you are looking at two guys who are going to feel some discomfort, they are going to be Jeff [Redacted] and Mark Gottfried.
Gminski: I would think Jeff [Redacted] at Wake Forest is squarely on the hot seat. He has been there since the start of last season and that pressure continues to mount. Other than [Redacted], I am not sure if anyone can be considered to be on a hot seat. James Johnson is only in his second season at Virginia Tech, so he will get more time. Brad Brownell might be facing a little pressure down at Clemson, but I would not consider him to be on a hot seat. I think other than [Redacted], every other coach in the conference seems to be in pretty solid shape.
Strelow: I think it always starts with Jeff [Redacted] and Wake Forest. The fan base there is very unhappy with both [Redacted] and athletic director Ron Wellman. The team did show signs of life at different points last season with home upsets over Virginia, NC State, and Miami. Last season, veterans C.J. Harris and Travis McKie led the way for them. Freshmen Codi Miller-McIntyre and Devin Thomas also showed they were capable of playing at a high level. Harris is gone this season, but the other three are back and it feels like this is the first team made up of all guys that [Redacted] recruited. If things do not go well this season, the pressure is only going to intensify for [Redacted] and Wellman. Things could get ugly there if the team does not get off to a good start.
Brad Brownell at Clemson is another guy that I think could be feeling a bit of heat. I think everyone respects him as an in-game coach and a stand-up guy, but it is in recruiting where he has struggled a little bit. When you look at Clemson’s roster, it is not stocked with a ton of talent. In some order, Clemson and Virginia Tech will probably be picked to finish last and second-to-last in the league. I think patience might be growing thin at Clemson, but at the same time I am not sure if it has been knifing at them or not. I do not know how rabid the basketball fan base is there to get too worked up over the struggles. Brownell and Clemson certainly have an uphill climb this season. The cupboard is a little bare there right now.
It sounds like an intgernational pro and former All American can still play.
I just opened this thread and saw the headset for the first time. Talk about spit-out-your-coffee hilarious! We have such a fuckin' tool for a coach!
Yeah the biggest thing is that GMc plays the position at which we need the least help. We have plenty of SFs. If he was a SG or a decent C it would be a different story, but playing him this season is a waste.

Honest question....why not ?
Wow, that's just sad. I decided to watch my Sawx instead of going to that amateur hour.
