I have been watching all the developments on this forum. I have seen the tremendous recruiting successes. I have learned about the coach's decision to rework the offensive philosophy to address the current roster and evolve to a more NBA style of attack. I have heard reports that our new team will be elite defensively. I have come to understand that the transfer players really like it here, are melding nicely with the team, new coaches and very talented incoming frosh. And, we have very talented incoming frosh.
Having learned these things I will make this statement: we are going to be very good this year, maybe even better than the optimists on this site would think.
I can't wait for the season to begin so as to see all these great factors come together for real.
Lets effin go.
Agee. My hope is we will be absolutely exhausting to play against this year. Our starting 5 will have length and switch ability on defense. But then our likely first 3 guys off the bench (Goode, Rodgers, Epps) are all dogs. You let up on Goode for a second, he will get an o rebound or bury a 3, you let up on Epps he’s getting a bucket, and you’d better not let up for one second on Ty Rodgers or he’s going to find a way to beat you.
It will take some time to build rapport, particularly on defense. But I am really looking forward to watching this year’s team.
