OT: Victor Wembanyama is very tall, and very good.

Sorry but no. It was not a time of positionless BB. Both played basically the same role, both the leaders of their teams and there was only one ball. Pippen and Jordan (also both top 50 as I recall) but they had different roles and everyone knew who was THE guy and that is why it worked. Jordan would not have developed the same way if he was on the same team as Drexler
I hate this “one ball” argument when it comes to some of the greatest players that every lived. These players aren’t John Sharks or a big man that needs the ball dumped into to him to score and feed his ego. They both are complete players not just scorers. Clyde played with Hakeem in college and as you state Mike with Pip. Yes, they played different roles, but I am sure Mike and Clyde would have figured it out and as I mentioned, near impossible to defend for the other team. Great players figure it out, good players often don’t. Clyde likely being similar to the Pip role with more offense and less defense. Both Mike and Clyde could score, pass, rebound and defend. Clyde wasn’t the piranha that Mike was on defense but he was still better than most. Complete players that would adapt and utilize each other’s strengths to make the team better.

CPC left behind a total mess, CLF has cleaned it up, rebuilt the culture.

Yes, the two Coordinators need to step it up but this is a very deep Badger team , made so by the seniors who stayed behind and the 2 years of very good portal kids he was able to acquire.

It’s a bigger, faster deeper defensive team and practice is way ahead of last season, with much play in pads with real tackling and they seem to be ready.Tressel has agreed you can’t allow mediocre QBs the luxury of easy outlet passes off 7 yard cushions with no pass rush and we brought in the players to put in a good pass rush.

Tyler Van Dyke has proven to have very good foot speed and a big arm , apparently he was injured last season in Miami and played on a bad knee that led to shoulder soreness too, his coach threw him under the bus .
The transfer RB is a load and the passing game in sync, best WR group in forever.

The schedule is crazy tough but we Homers expect a few upsets and the Badgers back in the conversations.

2024 recruiting was crazy good, some of those true Frosh are pushing to get in the 2- deep and the 2025 class , like many of yours in the past, is greatly underrated, we see 4-5 of the verbals getting big bump ups after this season.
CLF is the right CEO for the job , this season , we will see if he selected the correct coordinators or not.
