TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
2nd best player in the country per the coaches plus 5 of the remaining top 7 from last year returning. Should be seashells and balloons, a'ina?
Wait... Who are the 2 of 7 gone?
I kind of enjoy Lenny. At least you can read his posts.
Thanks, Miles. Thanks, Jockey. Now, excuse me while I go inside to mope a bit...but before I go, kindly get the f#ck off my lawn!!!
mAhh, the famous coaches polls....which secretary or intern is voting and selecting this year.....
In the poll he's referring to...zero. That was the Parish/Norlander poll where they interviewed over 100 D1 coaches.
yeah lenny-no matter what they say about ya...great example of when ya meet someone in person after trading chit with them online-lots of good stuff and laughs!
Seems fair. I think we have enough talent to be top 15, but it will depend on the coaching staff finding an offensive gameplan that makes those pieces fit together. Don't do that and there is disaster potential.
No facts, please. They get in the way of some's preferred narrative.
I think an underrated aspect (nationally anyway) of this squad is the defensive upside. The DeFG% last year was excellent (#18); adding height, athleticism, and experience to the equation should put us squarely in the top 10 there. Meaning we should be in most games to the end, where a guy like Markus can generate buckets to put us over the top.The real upside comes from replacing Sam (solid/above average positional defender) and Joey (bad all around defender) who did not generate turnovers with minutes from guys like Greg/Koby and Jamal/Brendan/Sacar who have more of a propensity to turn over the opposition. Those two things could take us from a top 50 DRtg to a top 10/15. I'd says that's almost more likely to happen than not.Figuring out the offensive side would be the difference between a win-ugly low-ceiling one-star team like KState/UW with Wade/Happ last year, or a Purdue/Texas Tech type team from last year. Here's hoping for the latter! I see a realistic path to get there, especially given Wojo's offensive resume, and why not be optimistic in September?!
