Not exactly. I'm a realist. There has not yet been a player under Grant that improved from one year to the next. If so, please name him.
We have been hanging hopes on new players every year only come March we are saying, "Wait til next year."
Since our AD decided to sit on his arse and keep Grant, while our cross state rival ran and picked up Pearl, we must face the fact that Bama basketball will remain mediocre at best til we take a new direction.

Releford would be the east choice. Maybe Retin would be the next choice.

I don't think many of us here were happy Grant was retained. But the fact is is that he's still here and we do have on paper talent. Maybe this is the year he proves why he was so highly thought of when we hired him.

Every new coach is a great hire until they start losing.

You mentioned one that improved dramatically in your first post...

No, you aren't. I hate how pessimists always use this as a defense. A realist would look at the talent on the roster and see that at the very worst the team should have a better year. You're upset about us retaining Grant (which is understandable), and you're allowing that to justify your pessimistic expectations for next season.
