Whitt will have a rear in the weight room

Yeah some of the Forbes WTF reactions are pretty understandable - does seem like we're a little snakebitten right now. Sure, a lot of it is because we've been playing with less defensive intensity, but Aluma missed his last 7 threes across two games, then he shoots 100% on 5 threes against us, his most ever? Dude didn't hit even one 3 in his first 2 years, none in 9 of their 13 ACC games this year. I don't care how badly we're covering their guys - their starters shot 75% from deep. It's like Hurt shooting almost 80% against us over 2 games - we don't seem to be catching teams on off nights recently. Even in the near-win at FSU they shot 50% from deep.
And then we're doing the reverse, with Massoud falling apart, DuBose hitting what looks like a post-COVID wall with 3 buckets in the past 2 games and no threes. Jalen hasn't scored in 2 games, Ody averaged 2 points in 2 games... You can tell during his presser that Forbes has a "our level of sucking makes no sense, our opponents have been putting up crazy numbers on us, your guess is as good as mine" kind of vibe going. So we're awful instead of just bad. I kinda hope Forbes doesn't go nuts dwelling on why that is. Focus on building the program, practices, conditioning, recruiting, and his metrics. Get pissed when we're trying to make the leap from good to really good in a couple years.
Va Tech just had a long COVID stop. Lots of other teams have had long COVID stops too. Virginia Tech didn’t need to use the “rusty” excuse after their pause. Two months after the pause, it’s “legs” not rustiness.
This is all lipstick on pig shit. These players blow and this team sucks. Forbes needs completely new players as quickly as possible. The Manning taint will not easily dissipate unfortunately.
Forbes is a winner. He will figure it out.
