Did you read any? Since I travel to Jonesboro, AR every few weeks, I read the preview. It was well researched and informative, without wild speculations about the future. Frankly, I look forward to his preview of UAB.

Yes, yes I did. Connelly does a good job...but these are only useful as "reviews" of the previous year...not previews of next year. Because all previews at this point of time are useless.

But he himself calls them "previews", and that's a mistake.

They seem more of an analysis of the current state of the team and coaching staff, and, as such, quite informative.

They way I see the "previews" is that he looks at what they did this past year/years & tries to do a bit of analysis of what will happen based on that along w/ what they've coming back
