LaSalle The reality for UD is that they have a way to go to become competitive in the conference and their roster is in complete disrepair. Patience will be necessary while Anthony Grant and staff correct the problem. His performance can be judged after 3 years on the job. Fasten your seat belts Flyer fans as you prepare for next year. A quick turn around does not appear to be forthcoming. God bless David Jablonski for his view of the Flyers through his Red and Blue glasses.

That is an extremely pessimistic viewpoint. If UD places this low in conference next season I'd join the chorus asking to put AG on the hot seat. I think the team is already better than last year's team with some meaningful pieces still to be gathered over the next six weeks.
