re: Discussion about our basketball team

I really didn't have an expectation for this year because of what you just said the loss of our entire starting lineup. I agree we are young and cant close out games. The thing that frustrates me the most is the way we have assembled the team. Because we have had players that stuck around so long we have really hurt our chances of building a contender. Its really no fault of Donovan he cant force players to leave so instead of getting a chance to build a team through recruiting we have had to rely on transfers to fill our voids. The other thing that frustrates me is the play of Walker and Hill both were five stars and they just aren't living up to their hype especially Walker. I understand they are young we have held double digit leads in about half of our losses and the majority of the time we are holding that lead at some point in the second half. We have lost 6 games by 2 points or less some of those loses are just plain bad luck, some of them due to inexperience. Will it get better yes, next year maybe. I do think we will need about 2 years to recover from losing all those seniors.
