I’m glad those players have given their blood, sweat, and tears. However, this is nothing personal. This is meeting the competition at that level. The small lineup may have worked in conferences like the Big South or ASUN, but if the program wants to rise up to the next level, then it must adjust to the competition. The other schools in CUSA and other G5 schools are recruiting bigger size players. We saw that this past week. We have to meet the competition. Even if McKay has to bench one of the smaller guards to meet the demands of the competition.
The old saying we were told back in college, “Your job is to make sure the coach does not find a reason to replace you. The coaches job is to find someone to replace you.”
They recruited those players for a reason.

So remind me again who won the CUSA regular season and tournament championships last season?

Once we get Ihnen and Smith 100% this team will look much different. Until then depth is going to continue to be an issue. Evidently we don't have 2-3 guys on our bench right now that can play defense up to HCRM's standard.
