He can point out practice and game effort but when Flory is sitting in Waco for nearly the whole second half so Self can ride or die with his guys, it’s a killer to the guys that he clearly wants more from. Save me the the whole rah rah kids should dig deeper, management and coaching in this wave of age groups is a different thing. Self has to evolve to his management of people on the roster if he doesn’t have a Braun, Frank, etc as a leader on the roster.
Storr, Griffen, Moore, and Coit are supposed to be plug and play but they haven’t been that at all. Timberlake was a wet blanket last year, at some point the kids mentality has to be more focused on when finding these kids. And you can’t kill them as they come in and think they just bounce up. It isn’t how many kids work now, the 18-25yos have tons of data proving they differ in many ways from the next group above. Either recognize that or go find the guys that can handle the system. Issue is I don’t even think his 6th yr PG can handle it.
