I have already seen a couple posts writing off next year.
If we had Archie or one of his assistants as hc, then I would feel confident that we would make the 2017-2018 NCAA.
With Grant, I am much less confident.
And I agree that making 2018-2019 NCAAT is a very reasonable expectation.

I'm not 100% writing off 2017-18, but trying to be reasonable in assessing our chances. I think that in order to make an NCAA tourney next year, it will require some huge contributions from guys not presently on the roster. Those could come from the incoming class who were Archie recruits, other AG recruits, or grad transfer(s).
If Anthony Grant can come in cold, and add enough firepower to make NCAA tourney next year, that would be as impressive as anything Archie Miller did at Dayton in my opinion.
