Probably our best returning scorer (XW) has never been the center of anyone's attention. That will change this year. And josh cunningham obviously has potential to be a great weapon but still haven't seen him return to form yet since his injury.
We lost an unsung and experienced glue guy in Mikesell and have an unproven and injured PF in Kostas, and a ton of unproven newbies. Plus a new coaching staff with what will most likely be a lot of new sets and principles. Seems like a pretty thin premise for a top 60 team. I hope i'm wrong. I think this year we rebuild. But next year we'll be strong again. That's ok. I'm looking forward to all the new kids and watching them develop.

Flyer95: Don't sound so hopeless. Reality will set in soon enough. Shhhh...don't wake us up, yet. Its only September. I am still dreaming that Xeryius Williams has a great year, Svoboda is much better than expected, Kostas is as good as we hoped, Cunningham plays like a man among boys, Crosby matures in front of our eyes into a stable pg and scores more points, Davis finds his shooting touch that he had as a freshman except better, Pierce loses his baby fat and the fitness guru has him playing better than he has ever thought to play, Toppin shows flashes of athletic brilliance and Crutcher starts out like a typical freshman but by A10 tournament time, he has it figured out and is solid. Oh and before I wake-up, Grant gets coach of the year in the A10 conference.
