This seems to suggest that Dayton will not finish in the top half of the A-10 in the opinion of it's leadership.

Considering the scheduling starts so far back, I would say most on this board were also “concerned” about how good we will be this year. Then Grant and staff went to work and things started to improve with players we brought in that can either play this year or help push the development of those players in practice as they sit out a year. Add in the off-season improvements by returning players and this year is looking way better that most thought. There aren’t many programs that have 3 players of our quality sitting out this year. I hope those 3 band together and drive the practice development of those that can play. Challenge them everyday in practice.
