you gotta look at his entire quote about freshmen. it's not wrong...in any sport or at any level. The rest of the quote is: "It's a fallacy because forget the one percentile. For the rest of 'em, it's harder as the year goes on, 'cause it gets harder to win, 'cause there's scouting reports."

This is absolutely correct. It might get easier for freshmen like Amari Bailey, or Jaime Jaquez, or the few that are really going to be stars. But that's the point....very few freshman have that level of talent. They are going to hav to deal with upper classmen who are also getting better, and yes, scouting reports. It does get harder to win as the season goes on. The spotlight gets brighter. The pressure of conference games is greater than the pressure of early non conf games against cupcakes. March pressure is even greater.
As for Arizona, they were ranked #4 coming into the season because they had a stacked roster coming back. We did not and therefore were correctly unranked. Mick's failure this season is the roster he brought back. Dimitri has correctly pointed out how NIL caused him to turn to the Euro market....a risky strategy that has not panned out at least not yet. Everything you said about the offense is true, but the problem is no level of coaching can solve that. This team just does not have the talent to consistently run an efficient offense.
