Comparing us to LSU is laughable. They had a ton of talent on that team left that Trent Johnson couldn't get it done with including Johnny O'Bryant, Anthony Hickey, and Andre Stringer. We had NOTHING left when Stansbury left. We literally returned less than 5% of our minutes from the previous year.
I don't think some of you guys get it. Every circumstance is different. Three years for one coach is not the same as 3 years for another coach. 3 years at Indiana isn't the same thing as 3 years at MSU or LSU or wherever else you want to choose. You can't tell me having those three guys I mentioned who are either juniors or seniors with 2+ years of SEC experience going into this season is the same thing as having a true freshman PG surrounded by a sophomore Sword, a sophomore Thomas, a sophomore Ware, and a limited bench due to having to kick players off that were Stansbury holdovers.
It's ridiculous what some of you expect from us and what ridiculous standards you guys think we should live up to and the fact that you think our situation is comparable to LSU's shows me our fan base has very little capacity to look at our sports programs objectively and truly understand where we are compared to where we should expect to be.
