Been thinking more and more that this team’s ceiling is quite high, particularly when compared to last year’s team.
Last year’s team had a super high ceiling as evidenced by our 2 non con wins, which were probably the 2 best non con wins of the BU era. Unfortunately the team never put it together and although it didn’t quite implode, it was dysfunctional and didn’t reach its ceiling.
This year we essentially swap out Domask for Mayer and Guerrier for RJ as rotation pieces.
Mayer was all conference and we don’t make the tourney without him, but certainly took plays off and did a lot of hero ball. Domask should be steadier and a better playmaker. Mayer has the higher ceiling, Domask may be the better CBB player.
Guerrier is a proven 10/5 and 35% 3pt shooting at the P5 level. I think that’s more or less what we were hoping RJ would jump to in his soph season and whether because of injury or confidence, he just didn’t get there. Should get a bump from that rotation spot.
We have Luke this year which will help with shooting, one of last year’s teams shortcomings.
Biggest question mark last year and this year is of course PG. Last year we were hoping 2 highly rated frosh could hold it down. This year we are hoping for Ty who is a soph but has never played PG at this level before. But we should have good secondary playmakers such that I think we just need Ty to be a replacement level BIG PG, something like maybe 7 pts, 2.5ish assists, 5 rebounds (Ty will board) and a positive A/TO ratio. But offensive questions aside, we should be much better defensively with a sophomore who is a proven plus defender vs 2 frosh who often made mistakes.
And that’s not taking into account Harmon and Dain as a depth pieces and assuming we get nothing out of Sencire or the frosh.
Think this team has just as a high a ceiling and a higher floor than last years team. Can’t wait to watch them play.
