Taking on this killer of a schedule with so many new players, and having lost three of his main players from last season. But if the past is any indication, his team will be more than competitive by the time conference begins.

His biggest job is to find someone to replace Taylor Gault, and I'm not sure there is anyone on the squad with that talent, but he might have a more balanced squad, depth wise, this season. But someone must step up pretty soon. The big games are already upon us. No time to gradually work into shape for them. We could possibly lose most of our non conference games and still have a great season once conference play begins. That's what I'm looking for. Another NCAA appearance.
