I think all of us things we should be pretty fair this year. But the distance between pretty fair and really good is a big one. However, just for a moment . . . . . . let's dream.

What if you put Zack Graber on this year's team? How would that affect my prognostications? A bunch, I can tell you. Is one of the incoming points a ZG? Who knows at this point?

What if you put Stan Blackmon on this year's team? What if Kibi is a second Stan? Would that make a differenc in my optimism? In a heartbeat!

We just do not know.

The problem is that Kibi is going to be playing behind Courtney, who has shown me the ability to score from inside and out in the pickup games, and we know he's a terrific rebounder and plays hard defense. In a normal season, Kibi might be able to step in and start, but this is not a normal year. A lot of competition for playing time. Bad for some players, but good for the program.

Presumably, but not if he is another Stan B.
