Elon was real bad last year, which prompted the school to make a coaching change, which in the near term will mean that Elon is going to be really, really bad. That’s what happens when you’re bad, and you make a coaching change, and then your top three scorers transfer out.
New head coach Billy Taylor, who has both head coaching experience and a good track record as a power-conference assistant, may well end up a great choice for Elon. But that ain’t going to be apparent this year, because nobody can work miracles.
