Add a shooter (Burton) who can consistently hit a three to the current roster and this team will be better than last year. The key will be chemistry. But the starting 5 (Cash, Parker, Bishop or Wilks, Gates, Thomas) stacks up well with most of the returning squads in the BE, and hence, the country, IMO.

Yes. My expectation is that each of them will all improve over the offseason. With added strength and impoved shooting with offseason work in the gym, Cash has a chance at being an upper level point guard. Parker has shown the ability to rebound and hit the outside shot. With more minutes this year and improvement in his overall game in the offseason, he should be in the top half of the BE for his position. Gates has as much talent and potential as anyone in the BE. He just has to play to that ability. Whether this will happen is a question mark, but I think we will see the light bulb go on this year. Thomas is 6'11"-7'0" and was coming on at the end of the season. With added strength he will be a force. Bishop has as much BE experience as anyone returning in the conference, and needs consistency. If we can see the Bishop that played against Villanova then this starting 5 could be something. Chemistry is the key as they have to play as a team, and not individual parts. A Darnell Burton type player coming of the bench (Deonte Burton) and this is a team to be reckoned with. Overly optimistic? Probably so, but that's why I'm a diehard Bearcats fan.

You have to remember who this is coming from. So positive that on some boards people are convinced he is Mick's brother.

Really? You find what I posted to be SO positive that it is unrealistic? Would life be better for you by remaining pessimistic and negative. Bring something to the table rather than a moronic comment that I must be Mick's brother. Or better yet, go back to BCN with the rest of the negative crowd.
