This is bullshit logic. Coaching absolutely has to do with your wins and losses. Talent alone won’t make a coach successful just as sub-par talent isn’t entirely to blame for a lack of success. And for the record, 2017’s class rankings had Wake at 38 and UVA at 99. Year before, UVA was at 7 and Wake was at 62. Year before that, Wake was at 30 and UVA was at 62. Our talent has not been the problem under Manning, and regardless of next year’s recruits, I don’t see us improving like we should with DM. He’s a terrible coach. Hate to say it, but four years in and the best he’s done is underutilize a stud PF, place 10th in conference, sneak us into the play-in game and lose. #Manningout
I don't see how talent is the number 1 issue. Not deflecting blame from Manning, but our guys are not better than the competition. Talent is issue #1 under Bz and Manning. Rankings are not relevant. So tell me who starts on other ACC teams? Craw under control - probably. Moore perhaps if he developed. Thompson - no. Wilbekin - no. Brown - probably. Childress - no. Sarr - no. Woods - no. So we have little talent compared to the rest of the league and our record proves it. No one - K, Roy, whoever can change that.
and the rest of the team would not see the floor until mop up time. So we have about 1.5 starters playing 5. And if you think Uva guys are equal to ours you are watching with your eyes closed. Coaching does not change from uncompetitive to a national champion contender.
So I agree Manning is bad, but the dialogue need to change from coaching to recruiting. The sentiment is he does recruiting well, but that is issue #1.
