To me, that is a pretty good lineup. Now, we need 3 more to add. The 7 footer, and two more tree trunks, and I think we would have a good solid team with a deep bench. I have seen video/film on these guys and I can say that they like to run, but at the same time, I've seen half court play from them. It seems to me that, with a half court set, these guys can shoot the ball pretty well inside and out. It's going to interesting to see which way we go this year. I'm sure it will work out, and this team will gel together quickly.
Trying to get behind it but that starting lineup isnt moving me. At all.

Not enough STARS!
STARS, STARS, boom tap boom tap boom boom, STARS, STARS
I wouldn't be surprised if:
-Jamal Johnson works his way into the starting lineup
-Ditto for Thornton
-Azab doesn't get cleared (I don't know anything specific here, just hard experience, sir)
It would be prudent, IMO, to brace for losing the most games since Iba's last season. Our current team is made up of JUCOs, three 3* star freshmen, a project (Azab), two returnees with heart but limited talent, and lead by a coach who has won only one NCAA tourney game in ten years and lost the last two games by margins not seen in decades.

Wow! Talk about a negative post! I sure don't share your opinion and look forward to seeing you proved wrong when the games are actually played. This team will play better defense than last year, be more athletic, and
play more as at team. i see it actually winning more games than last year.

Another way of saying, "Gird your loins".

What some folks call negative, I call realistic. I fervently hope to be proven wrong.

My mother in law was "realistic" like you. She always saw the bad side of every thing and was "truthful" enough to always point out. Thankfully, her heart and attitude changed and she is enjoyable to be around now. Here is to hoping you may enjoy a change of heart and attitude also!

I see it the same way. Getting more excited and optimistic as players come on board.

Dwash! Have you seen the videos on these guys?
Have you EVER seen a highlight video which does not make the player look like a superstar?????
They do not put miscues in those videos.

Thinking the same thing. Im sure when oppossing coaches want to game plan they go too the highlight videos on youtube and show them to their players so they can oh and ah over them.
Highlight vids are what they are. You know you won't see air balls, traveling and bad passes. But when you look a little deeper, you can see things beyond the obvious with any player.
Yeah, as long as there is a wide open lane with defenders playing spectator, there will be a plethora of dunks.

Why are people who have realistic, but not positive outlooks told to pump the breaks because the "season has yet to play out" yet those same folks don't tell super fans to pump the breaks when someone is called Dorsey 2.0 or that a 3* frosh will lead the team in scoring?

Well, since you're a moderator now and, therefore, know everything (
), I asked this in a different thread but didn't get an answer. Will he be a RS freshman, a true freshman, or a sophomore? I heard he was making good grades, so I'm guessing it won't be the latter unless he's improved them markedly in less than a year.
