So that's Eastern and Haarms gone.

Someone still needs to explain to me what in the Hell Painter was doing when he decided that Brandon Newman needed to be redshirted last year.

They'll still have Wheeler and Stefanovic (redshirt juniors, essentially seniors). Redshirting tends to pay off in the long run, especially in scenarios like this. I wish we'd had the luxury of redshirting players over the years, but Crean was allergic to the concept and we've been so starved for impact players in the Archie Miller era that it really hasn't been an option recently.

IMO, guys that redshirt and then stick around for four years are unicorns....I don’t think it occurs enough to use it as a strategy.  And with the new transfer rules coming up, I really think even less of it.

That wasn't the only concept Crean seemed to be allergic to.

True. 
 
So between those and the 
Gavitt
Maui x 3
Crossroads
ACC Challenge 
Thats 8 games only 3 more that Archie controls the Opponent.  Yet people will complain  
 

We will be on the road for the B1G/ACC Challenge. I wouldn’t mind playing at UNC. I’d rather do that than play Virginia, Louisville or Duke.

Fill in the last 3 with teams in the 100-200 range and I’d be ecstatic! That’s be a top OOC SOS.

"Yet people will complain"

The non-conference schedules the past two seasons warranted criticism. Maui potentially improves the quality of the non-conference schedule with possible games with North Carolina and other quality teams.

I'd argue that our schedule last year was set up perfectly to maximize our change of getting to the tournament. We were a young, growing team and our schedule gave us many opportunities to beat very solid teams.

Exactly had we played a tougher OOC schedule and lost 2 or 3 instead of being a surefire tourney team we would have been sweating.  We had the 198th toughest OOC schedule but the 23rd toughest in the country.

A top 60 Non conference SOS warranted criticism last year?
