By no means am I hitting the panic button. I'm super excited about our future and I have 100% confidence in our head coach. With that being stated I think it's silly to act as though Quincy and other returning players are talentless. Without question they were missing some pieces last year. The team also was largely inexperienced and had a short bench. As 58-56 already stated Quincy was on an upswing at the end of the season. Maybe it was QT finally reaching 100% or the tutoring of a new staff (most likely both). The most important aspect is that the team improved when QT did.

I think the new recruiting class is looking great but it's doubtful they will all be playing at their highest level immediately. None of them have been through the fire of a college season. It's essentially two seasons (non-conference and CUSA). They need guys to help guide them through those things who have already been through the waters. Again, I'm excited about the future and expecting a big jump next year but having QT around would have been a plus. We need the returning players experience and we need to FINALLY have depth on our bench.
