Or, as everyone has told you over multiple years, it's an ultra-competitive landscape and as a middling school in a middling conference, it is at best an uphill battle. Per my post even with Saint Ricky and the "new super good recruits" we are ~6/14 in CUSA, but that also means there are 8 teams doing worse than ODU.

I'm not drinking the Kool Aid, we've still got 2-4 years of thigh-deep **** to wade through.

You make good points, but the other schools in CUSA are as (or more) “middling” than we are. There is no reason we can’t compete well enough to have winning records in CUSA. If we were in the ACC, sure. FWIW, I agree that we have at least one more year of crap. I hope to be wrong though. All these incoming transfers give me some hope at least.
