I guess on the effort part, but if you're talent deficient, that's the one card you have to play.In a previous post in this thread, I said that I don't think the struggles are a lack of effort, for the most part, but more it just not being a good team. There are some talented pieces but, overall, their are too many deficiencies, most notably on the defensive end. I added that ultimately, that's on the coaches. They recruit the players and teach them.
Is this team playing with 100 percent max effort all the time? No. And that's hard to do when you're getting sand kicked in your face continuously. But it's my opinion that poor effort isn't the main reason this team is losing. I don't think it's lazy. I don't think it's good enough for a variety of reasons.
It's discouraging to see the program slip this far. Does the cavalry consist of Connor McCaffery and Joe Weiskamp? Then, is it Patrick McCaffery and whoever? What is his plan? If he can't get the players he wants, then I wouldn't continue to fill out the roster with guys who can't play at this level, leaving no room on the roster, which is the spot they're in now. To me, there are 2 guys on the roster who can play at this level - Cook and Bohannon, with a nod to Baer, sometimes Pemsl and the potential to Garza. The rest are roster fillers, who would probably be fine players at a lower level.
