Florida is more talented than we are. Arkansas is more talented. A&M is more talented, imo. Georgia is about even. Look at the rosters. And if you're gonna use defensive rebounding as a measuring stick then Frank Martin is the best coach in the league. How's his team doing?


Do Florida, A&M and UGA have two potential first round draft picks on the floor? This team has Top 25 talent.

Also, I mentioned OFFENSIVE rebounds given up (i.e. not being disciplined enough to block out on EVERY shot) as the measuring stick for effort. With the players we have, there is no excuse for giving up 17 offensive rebounds, its simply not putting out the effort to box out on every shot. Unlike Jones, Martin has actually taken a team deep in the NCAA Tournament and won a major conference. Yeah I think Frank is great coach and will ultimately be successful at USC.

People need to just be patient and wait until next season when we are better than most teams. Some coaches are great when there is very little talent but average when they have a good team due to their coaching philosophy. Other coaches often succeed when they have the horses and are willing to turn them loose. We need to give Coach Jones a break and try to enjoy the season cause these kids are really fun to watch.
