You do realize this isn't the same team minus Trevor, right? Over half of our current team didn't play for us last year...


So we lost our best player and are having to break in a bunch of new ones. I'm not seeing where all the optimism is coming from.

Hopefully the team will be good. OTOH I also hope they do poorly so we can be rid of Grant. It's a win-win season for me.

Well we will have two guys who were both All Conference guys in their previous conferences that have already practiced with our team for a year. Our optimism is with hoping guys like Levi, Retin, and Cooper all finally take a step forward and our 4 freshmen and Varidel acclimate quickly. I mean the on paper talent is there.

This is college basketball. New players are the best players on the team most of the time. Plus with the guys weve added we should be a more balanced team.

Two of the new guys were here last year, but had to sit out. 5 of the 7 newcomers are good to great shooters which is something we've sorely missed since Grant's arrival. Plus the biggest difference which seems to get overlooked is the fact that we had just 9 scholarship players last year, one of which barely played because he was clearly not high-major material. Just having the depth to play man instead of just zone will help tremendously.
