Gillispie is in practice everyday. He knows his players ability. Here is the main point that needs to be addressed; the harmonic balancer. The lead guard or point guard is the key ingredient that is missing. Did you notice that we our guys cannot figure out what to do with the ball once the get it in the lane. Why, because Liggins and Miller have not matured enough. Galloway is out of control. Porter, alas, is the closest thing to a harmonic balancer. The point guard is supposed to be an extension of the coach on the floor. Gillispie says that players will do the opposite of they play they called. You can coach them but can't make them execute. Meeks, as I have said before, cannot be concerned about being a leader (harmonically) if he is trying to work to get open and score. There is no other player on the team that can be trusted to score. I know that I am supposed to see the positives and I will get there. This team will be great if next year we get a true point guard (like John Wall) or if Liggins just wakes up and becomes a great point guard. Billy G. is getting the best out of these players that he can...they are not just the greatest at every position. There are better players in the SEC, and they have proved it.
And for the record John, Tubby's recruits didn't do much under Tubby but flourished under Billy G.. Bradley, Crawford, Meeks, Porter (yes, he is much better than he would have been under Tubby). That is all I have for now...must sleep!
