State is a much tougher job than many people want to admit. In the history of the program, no coach has had success there without NCAA violations. Someone pointed out on Twitter today, he's always had a talent advantage...at Hargrave, Louisville and at UNCW. The only exception was his first year at UNCW and the CAA was down that year. Earlier this week he came out and said that he doesn't have ACC-level talent right now. He's facing an uphill climb and I'm not sure going with a smaller, athletic roster is the formula for sustainable success in the ACC.
