The lineup has had to change from week to week, several team captains have been out for months now, and the frosh phenom, who has loads of talent and potential but is very inconsistent, disappeared for weeks at the most crucial part of the season. Did anyone really think he was going to hit the ground running in his first game back, after not training/practicing with the team for weeks?I agree with your first point. We have had many challenges to overcome and on the whole have met them very well. On the second point, I frankly have some doubts about the "frosh phenom". When you have a player with that much "talent and potential" one expects raw talent to take over where preparation and practice aren't adequate. It may be he isn't being used properly, but it also may be he just hasn't figured out yet how to play at the college level. He is either going to need more time in college to figure it out or go pro. One wonders if this year would make the NBA wonder if he will figure it out at their level either.
