A lot to work with. Said in the game thread I was hoping for a more polished team, but I'm just impatient. We will be a handful by January I believe.

Shannon is the complete package.

Hawkins looks like he’s taking the next step.

Sencire Harris will be this board’s favorite player from now until whenever he eventually departs C-U.

Rogers is really raw and didn’t play within himself. But he does not have a freshman body. He’s cut.

Dainja was, dare I say, Kofi-esque in the second half.

Just the first game. Tons of moving parts to this roster. Need to see more of Mayer, Melendez and Clark.

a lot to like in that first game. Some things to clean up, but Team growth plate still open, which makes me very excited were we could be by Christmas.
