We can nitpick all we want about coach Grant, but this is a brutal job. Lets not be delusional. Managed differently could they have made the NIT this year? Maybe. That said, he is building a culture and i think we are being too critical of him given the facts of NIL, we've been bad for 15 years, another 8 years before that and another 8 years before that.
I'm usually an optimist about all things BC. They are a much deeper than they've been for some time. That is a positive. They are fielding a team. In any circumstance it takes time with this program and candidly i'm not sure we can get the Jimmies and Joes needed to be a top 25 team especially in the world of transfers and NIL. And it's all about that talent to win consistently against the talent we play. Our top end talent is just not there. QP is excellent but he has very little support. I love Glock but he's undersized. Aligbe is a HUGE disappointment at least relative to high expectations. He's so limited and a horrible offensive player. Horrible. JZ is a solid guard - strong but slow, GREAT glue guy, but unathletic. I like Hand but big ? mark. Madsen is limited but can shoot. Claudell Harris is a rental and he does not have the mental fortitude or the consistency. Chas Kelly is raw at best, is a big guard who struggles to dribble and shoot. Mighty hustles but raw and limited.
What do we do next year without Post?
Grant needs some serious luck to move this thing forward in a meaningful way. And conte forum sucks. Its an old hockey arena.
