Impressed with the new strength coach.

Should we be concerned about tough early season matchups with so many new players in the mix? I think Brannen is building a fine team but some early season losses last year kept us on the tournament bubble more than we're used to.

Yes, our best two options to run offense through are gone. JC obviously and Tre was a great passer for a forward. KW is a slasher; not really a guy who has ever shown the ability to handle and pass the ball that you want to run through. Who is that? MAW? DeJulius?

I believe we've got the talent to be good but I think there's a learning curve. We may even want to ramp up the pressure on defense to create easy buckets since we should be pretty deep. I think it will be a fun year; hope to have the opportunity to go to some games.

No doubt it's DeJulius. If he was assumed to get the starting PG position at Michigan and we're to believe he's as good as their fans have hyped him the last 6 months after he transferred, he's good enough to run through our schedule.
