[QUOTE="idoc13, post: 1430884, member: 10749"] I believe that the talent level and potential on the roster has definitely increased compared to last year. Underwood had his guys playing hard against Gonzaga and Georgetown (not as evident the last 2 Maui games). Transition, fast-paced basketball was fun to watch against Georgetown and Gonzaga. The Gonzaga game was a dog fight and they are probably the new #1 in the country... no chance we even give them a game with last year’s roster. No coach is going to win with the front court we are putting out there. We are going to get absolutely crushed inside this year. We just don’t have the horses. Giorgi is promising but very raw. De la Rosa should not even be playing due to injury. Kane is evidently not playing... Kipper is not a 4. Tevian is also not a 4. Aaron Jordan is not a 4. If Giorgi gets in foul trouble, we are toast. The buck stops with Underwood completing the roster but the roster is not even close. Hopefully more experience plus adding January will put us in a better place next year. Even then, our bigs will need another year. [/QUOTE]
