Perfect then, you figured it out. Rest easy at night

It's going to feel so good when we lose to UConn in the AAC tournament for fourth straight year or when we lose in the first round of the NCAA's again. I'll just be happy to be there!

Is he really going to sit out a year somewhere? Seems like he could play pro instead, even if it's D-League.

Looks like he's prepared to sit out a year. Unless there's something going on where he knows he can get a waiver to play right away.

You'd be the first one, so nice work interpreting everyone's posts.

My expectations are the same for the program but I'm with you on this one. Until Cronin proves he can raise the bar...I won't be expecting a Final Four run or yearly conference champs from his teams. We have some pretty good players but I don't think we are deep enough. I think we can do it with 3 and 4 year players but we need to have 8+ deep with quality. I don't see quality depth this year. I think we have 4 quality D1 players right now. Can we find some depth?


Jenifer? Can he improve his decision making?

Cumberland? Can he be D1 ready as a frosh?

KJ? Not expecting a big jump here but he would be a better backup

Scott? Can he give us 10 quality minutes at the 4?

Moore? Can he work hard and back up the 5 for ten quality minutes?

Brooks? Can he be a better option than Moore at the 5?

All reasonable expectations. Hope Mick is able to raise the bar over the next two years. He has got some good talent in the starting line up. Needs to develop the bench and add some depth. If he can I think he will again compete for the conference title and could have a nice run in tourney. My expectations are to compete for conference title and make the dance. Especially as we are configured now. Like everyone else I want league dominance and high seeds but I have my own understanding of why that is not a reasonable demand at this time. I'm pleased with our Coach and team but like everyone else I want more as well.
