I am.
Actually, I opened my browser and it looked like it hadn’t been posted. I think I’d hit the back arrow after I posted it the first time.

Or I’m losing it. Definite possibility.

Just getting around to reading some of this and wonder what folks are thinking ... team is w/out ADR, DP and JW. Without looking that's the bulk of the rebounding, scorers and finishers not to mention the fact all three were at or near 80-percent FT shooters.

If that leads to JAvery - the No. 1 A/TO PG in the nation last season trying to do too much, that's just the residue from all the above.

Not the best Kent team in years, for sure. But there is a reason.

If this team was intact aw expected after last season... talk would be about contending in the MAC, post season runs and at-large bids. And critics would be finding fault with beating a CIT Liberty team by just 10 at home.

Jeez folks ... take a step back and look. Watching this team grow could be entertaining, regardless of record.

I sort of agree but I’ve been watching the Browns grow for 20 years, the Cavs are now growing, the Kent women have been growing, ditto the wrestling team and God knows the football team has been growing forever. Can’t we have at least one teenager?
