The difference between:

Blake being a lotto pick and top pick is work ethic.

Taylor playing in the NBA and playing in Europe is work ethic.

Cade getting to play major D1 ball and being the most important piece of a team is work ethic.

I don't know that a coach can teach work ethic to a kid who doesn't have it, and if Capel has failed it is in the fact that in last year's class, it was lacking.

We've argued about whether or not this season was Jeff's fault. I believe it is a blend of things. I think he is young, believed that he had more disciplined players than he did, and thought he could bring more out of them than was the case. I also believe that there was a bit of a perfect storm with personalities.

On a basketball team it only takes a bit of bad to sour a team. We had a bunch of bad. Regardless, I truly believe that Jeff Capel is a winner and has learned a great deal from this season. If I'm right, the future is bright, brilliantly bright.

:clap Its not a coincidence that all 3 were roommates for two years either.
 
I agree about work ethic. When you have a true talent with work ethic then you get a player for the ages. i.e Jordan.
