If u read the other thread I started I said Eddie has to change his entire defensive philosophy,,from pressuring the opponent's point guard, to going over screens instead of under them,defending the three, and properly defending the pick and roll. If he doesn't fix that we will not succeed. However, with rim protectors back next year and recruiting more length , our guards should be able to guard the three better and go over screens and use our length. There should not be a lot of easy baskets next year and our blocks should be way up.
There are no transfers!!!We lose Grier, Daniels and Lewis and replace with Freeman, Johnson and Doorson. That is a huge upgrade. Plus Corey will be setting everybody up and our depth will not have our players gassed .. I am very optimistic offensively and if One of the recruits can either shoot the three, or rebound, or plays great defense is will be a huge bonus.
I know 2 teams that will be a lot worse next year, Maryland and Iowa. Indiana and Michigan State will also lose some big time national first, second or third team players. I do not see next year's Big 10 being as daunting as this year's version .
Finally unlike you I do not see everything in a negative light!!
OK he wins 6 Big Ten games----overall record of 13-17.
