I am very optimistic about this year's team! I think we will contend for the east title, and I think our leadership prepares us better than anyone else for the tourneys at the end.
It was sad to see 3 KSU Hall-of-Famers graduate and at the time I was not feeling great about whatever the next year would bring.
But, I like the guys they have brought in. If we can get decent guard play--you can't truly replace MItchell and Huffman, but no one else has anyone that good either--our inside game with Gerwig and, yes, Big John E., will be tough to deal with while you are trying in vain to stop AG inside and outside.
This is a much better team than people realize around the league, and I think will be underestimated because of whom we lost. The reason people don't know that is they didn't see how good the bench was last year and how the young talent was coming along becasue they weren't truly needed much.
I agree that Houts is no PG, but he can shoot lights out and we need him for that. Really, this team is already running 7-8 deep, and some of the young players will come around in time.
I am loving DeAndre already! JUST what the doctor ordered!
I am ready for HOOPS!
(I also hope Joshua Cribbs can have his turning point game this weekend and bust out of his passing slump, put
ting up some BIG numbers!)
