BCEagles25 {l Wrote}:I like a lot of this too, but I don't think we'll win all of our cupcakes next year. Almost every team has one WTF loss, especially one under a new system with a short bench. And I would be extremely happy if Jackson's senior year went like Rice's. And if that does indeed happen, there will be no 8th-9th ACC finish.

So, less than 15 wins next year would be a DISASTER.
Unless the loss of Roche/Sanders isn't a reason to be happy and/or unless Al Skinner was not a rock-bottom terrible coach.

SUCCESS: If we are in a field of 96 and ranked 33rd or above and play on Tuesday or Monday, BC will win 4 games and be in the Sweet 16 and maybe the Elite 8 with Stevie D.
1--TRAPANI 6-7 RAVENEL 6-8 SOUTHERN 6-10 (Sore Shoulder healed), DUNN 6-8, and RAJI 6-6, -- will be in game shape and get better this summer and have new attitudes and the other bongettes will have quit which was not enforced after the Chinaman left.
MAybe NADO can be a player right out and you get 6 guys.
2--Paris 6-1, Jackson 6-3 and ELMORE 6-5 should be enough, but one more guard woulda been sweet.
So 30-30-20...big deal. Maybe you get 6 minutes from white gaulks Mosakowski 6-1 and Judge Rehnquist 6-4.
ROLL ME AN 11 to the Title.
NOW is the time for success and turn that into recruiting magic.

I think 15 wins is the upside. Losing Roche and Sanders won't hurt the team a ton, but with the talent on board I'm not sure they were going to be very good anyway.

now that's funny. You lose a starter (who never lived up to his hype/potential, but still scored 12 points a game) and don't replace him, and you are supposed to be a better team. Gotta love the skinner lovers. so if a really bad baseball team loses a mediocre player that was one of their leading RBI guys and doesn't replace him, they are supposed to score more runs...
donahue is a better coach than skinner, but he can only do so much with skinners crappy recruits, let alone skinners crappy recruits minus 2.

Because it was almost painful to watch such a hyped player out of high school be so mediocre. Just a question, would you have preferred to stick with Skinner? If so, why?

I would have given Skinner one more year and let him know that he was on the hot seat.

Huh? Why does his hype outta of high school factor into this discussion? If he was a horribly thought-of prospect out of HS who we stole from Bryant but went on to average 12 a game, are we all really disappointed about his transfer???
I will say that I have heard that Sanders was a malcontent in the locker room and constant source of dissension amongst the coaches. I can understand any coach (new or old) willing to facilitate his departure. But, that is a move a coach makes to make his entire team better. So, losing Rakim should be means to get more wins.
Finally, OJ, the "and not replacing him" equation of losing Rakim is all up to Coach D. His effing job is to replace the players/recruits he is losing and/or forcing out. Literally, anyone can come into a program and blow it up. But, coaches are paid the big bucks to QUICKLY rebuild it better than it was.
Eagledom {l Wrote}:you are an idiot. He will rebuild and replace guys like sanders - crap recruits from skinner. But its hard to ask to replace players for THIS year when you take over in April, when most players have signed already. He will start building with the 2011 class. Fucking moron.

So, with a much better coach and pretty much the exact same team next year, how many wins will Donahue deliver? I'm just trying to wrap my head around the notion that 15 wins might be a great coaching job. Is Rakim Sanders that big of a loss now?
