Beast I think the last 2 team played below capability, but I don't think well below capability. Don't think they were as talented as many thought they were, and I wasn't concerned about many of the players that Rick cut loose when he got here. Don't know how much the kids did or didn't respect CMA, but it was obvious that they didn't listen to CMA(on and off the court). Maybe those kids wouldn't have listened to any coach, which may be why Rick didn't want them back.

Monte,

You and I disagree a bit on talent of last years team. I just don’t think any of Posh, Wusu, Storr or Jones (not to mention Soriano) were anything less than BE level players. To me, the biggest problems were chemistry (particularly Curbelo) and coaching or lack of same. Not saying we were a top 30 team talent wise, but we had enough to dance with good coaching. Just my two cents.

NCJ hope you're well. Never said they weren't Big East level, they were, just think we had a team of roll/bench players who got starter minutes. We still should have been better and I most certainly agree that chemistry was horrible.

Chemistry wasn’t good for most of CMA ‘s tenure . Figueroa wanted out and didn’t fit with Anderson from the get go . Then the wholesale exodus of GW3,,Earlington , etc was more than just players transferring out . That was a red flag .

I don't think you can look at players transferring out when a new coach takes over as a Red Flag... otherwise Pitino has a Giant Red Flag lol...

I actually thought it was impressive CMA was able to keep LJ/Heron when he first came aboard... had he lost Julian/Posh, those he recruited... think that would say a lot.

Not sure this has been discussed…I read that Rick has 834 wins (as a head coach I assume). In the six years remaining on his current contract, he would need to average 27-28 wins to get to 1000. Tall ord
