Who evaluated this talent? Talent evaluation is part of coaching. Hell, MM coached 2 of them for multiple years and one of them all of last season.

This team has 5 different players that have started and won NCAA Tournament games, and another that played major minutes for a team that made it to the round of 32. That is an incredible amount of high level experience. That is significantly more tournament experience than WW had last year. Instead he took a guy like Eason that was buried in the bench at Cincy and made him a lottery pick. Key word there is Wade developed the talent he had.

The talent on this team has been proven at a very high level. If MM can’t maximize that talent, that is on him.

Few if our kids would play for Alabama.
Would any start? Maybe Williams?

Okay, KJ, Juice Hill, and Hannibal are 3 of the 5 you say have been "proven at a very high level", right?.
Did CMM mis-evaluate these guys talents? Are you saying they shouldn't be SEC starters and shouldn't have been brought along or just that CMM isn't maximizing their talent as well as he did before?
Miller - who is recovering from knee injury that has left him with zero hops to this point and has severely hindered his offensive game - along with M'wani and Justice Williams are the others, right?
I mean, what exactly did you expect this team to achieve in the SEC? KJ is your only All Conference level guy and the rest were role players on those teams though Juice was heavily relied on and he and M'wani did start.
Enough - this team is in no way as talented as even last years team. Whether guys have individually played in NCAA games doesn't mean shite whether it was Murray or LSU. One team's Tournament success doesn't prove it's players can succeed in a completely different situation like being on a new team that's competing in the SEC or any other P5.
Because players aren't as good as expected in current surroundings doesn't mean the Coach is suddenly fer shite when he too has been successful at a different level with a different team.
I wasn't a CWW sycophant. I liked him because the Tigers won games. I expect to like CMM at some point for the same reason.
