I don't believe in hindsight you can consider 2012 an NCAA roster even with Turgeon as the coach. I don't care how overrated it was entering the season.TXAggie2011 said:
Everyone---everyone---thought the 2012 team was NCAA quality. You can bicker about the effects of injuries on that team's performance but everyone that wasn't a sour Aggie thought that rosterNCAA worthy.
He's easily made the NCAA tournament the last 3 seasons at Maryland. 4-seed, 5-seed, 6-seed.
You can bicker about the ease of putting together an NCAA roster at Maryland, but again, he's made the tournament with ease at Maryland.
At every stop, he's had NCAA quality teams late in his tenure built on his own recruiting efforts. He had a Sweet 16 team at WSU, he had year 4 and 5 NCAA quality at A&M and he's been winning 24+ games and had a high seed in years 4 through 6 at Maryland.
Hardly a stretch to think A&M would have been a regular NCAA team.
Hypothetically, if these following things had happened to Turgeon:TXAggie2011 said:
It had the 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8th in minutes played back from a 24-win 8-seed plus Elston Turner (who had already been a top bench guy for a Washington NCAA Sweet 16 team).
(((To round off the depths of the bench, you had Jamal Branch who went on at St John's to be a 25-minute, 6th man on NCAA team and Jordan Green)))
I loved Walkup and Holmes---two of my favorite guys as a student--- but the argument the roster wasn't NCAA capable is that a year of experience for Loubeau, Middleton, et. al. plus Elston Turner (plus Branch and Green) couldn't really sniff what Holmes and Walkup brought to the team. I think that's a debatable proposition, at best, from your viewpoint.
