You can be unhappy with JJ. I don't care. You're entitled to that opinion and it's totally understandable.

But, you, and most people on this board, don't know anything about what we did or didn't do on the recruiting trail. We don't have to go back too far in the archives of this board to find a lot of posters who thought JJ was taking too many transfers and needed to recruit more high school kids. Now, you're spitting nonsense about how we haven't done enough in the transfer market, despite half of our team being transfers. You're not happy. I get it. Here's the thing, I haven't seen a single poster who is satisfied. So, I don't even know who you're mad at.

By the way, the truth is, we got the players we targeted in the transfer market last year, with one exception. The staff thought they had a big coming here, but at the last minute, he took a P5 offer. I'm not sure what the staff can do to get us in the ACC.

Sorry Coach and I do respect your knowledge and insight on here, but I just don't get it! If these were the players we targeted, we need to raise the target. Did JJ ever go visit any of these transfers/recruits in person? Where are our BIG players? Last night was very obvious that we are too small to compete. Trice did all he could to check Kalifa but was just out manned. And when he complained about it, he was benched. The thing that really upsets me is there is absolutely no sign of future improvements with this program unless sitting back each year and crossing your fingers hoping that some stud will pity us and volunteer his services. Things have to change.

No need to apologize to me. You can disagree with me. That's fine.

To Monarx's point, I truly think we have a better roster than the results we've been getting. JJ has won a LOT of games in college basketball. He hasn't forgotten how to coach. Yet, something isn't working.

Zero depth

It's not his coaching ability that's killing him it's, his inability to recruit quality players that can compete at this level!
