[QUOTE="Newman, post: 1409523, member: 528847"] Maybe I'm just setting my standards too low but I'm okay with getting back to the point where we can see ourselves realistically finishing in the middle of the pack. Our long term success will depend on balancing the roster so that we don't have major holes in any particular position. We aren't in the position to have above average talent at each position, but we're setting ourselves for failure if we go years with having below average talent in key positions. Groce had that issue with pg, and I'm worried that we could have that with Underwood with the frontcourt. If Underwood can fix that hole this recruiting cycle, I think his coaching can put us in a good position to be successful. I have no doubt that he'll get talented wings and guards but I'm questioning his ability to B1G caliber frontcourt players. Getting guys ranked in the 200s and 300s will not cut it this year.
