Dre, I like you man but that's a much too harsh assessment of Groce . A good jockey can't win on a slow horse. I truly believe that a coach new to a program can not be judged accurately until his 3rd season and with all the defections he faced it's going to take that long here for sure.
A couple observations:

Buffalo is the real deal. They have depth too. I can see them making some real noise in March.
