CCC and the staff he brought with him seem to know how to conduct practices efficiently. They seem to know how to turn a team around and have it be successful in its first year (based on CCC's history). They obviously know how to get a quiet, confident buy-in from the players in a new situation (with the help of portal guys from the last place they coached at).
I always thought that CTA improved the basic talent-level at IU, but didn't always use/develop that talent as well as he/they could have (partially because they had the usual IU burden of not being able to keep good coordinators).
The Spring Game alone (& the fact that it was openly televised, with no chicanery around that fact involved) gave me hope that this team will be much improved this year.
We will see. The proof is in the pudding...
But I for one have - to mix metaphors - drunk a fair amount of the kool-aid already....🤷♂️....👍
