It is who Burke is I think and for now its seems to work pretty damn well for him. I could see it getting old for a team over time but now it's fresh and they seem to roll with it. Last night was a solid win for them. I think just the fact that the players are maturing is huge,they seem to like each other and just want to win. It is a plus for Burke.

When we start competing with ACC teams for recruits we can address that problem. Until then Burke will always be working with lesser talented players competing for PT. Lets not forget, Okauru was a 3 star out of HS and went to a P5 school. He seems to thrive under Burke and is his most vocal supporter. He is looking like a 3 star for the first time in his college career. Simple questions. Are the players improving individually under Burke? Is he developing the talent he has?
