I didn't say they'd be as good as the last 2 years, just that they will improve and be a good team by the end of the season. Hurley is a top 3 coach in my opinion. These are the types of years he earns that money.They lost way too much to be anywhere near as good as the last two years. They have no where near the talent of teams like Duke, Bama, Kansas, etc.
It was way more than Clingan. They were very talented at every position plus they played extremely well together.
They'll be better by the March, probably top 20-25 but no where near last year's team.
