Next years team

[Keller Sooner]

This post makes me laugh. Noone will be as good as mbaye and pledger.

Didnt pledger finish his career with top 10 in 3 pointers made??

Come on guys....

Lets be realisitc.

Yes we are better defensively, but im not sure that is enough. We WILL take a step back this year. Hopefully NIT.

This upcoming years recruiting class will be extremely important for kruger. We need to land some big time talent.

Have a big one lucky. You absolutely do not know whether they will or won't. I choose to believe they can be.

In time, maybe. I don't see it happening over night.

The difference in talent between those guys, isn't enough to offset the experience difference, IMO. When we're comparing apples to apples (ie, the young guys as upperclassmen to the seniors we just lost), I think that statement will be correct.

I think some folks forget how highly regarded by recruiting rankings guys like Pledger and Fitz were.

I personally think the only experience that really matters in college basketball is tournament experience. The time these guys will have playing together won't be as long as last years group but I think that will be less of an issue as the season moves along.

My expectations for next season took a hit when MBaye left. However, I think we will still be better enough defensively and on the boards to equal what last years team did record wise. I still think we will be a work in progress offensively but should improve as chemistry improves. Whether we will actually be a better team will depend on how good we really are inside. I need to lay eyes on these guys.

All that said, I stand with Gary on next years group of guards. I expect our guard play to be vastly improved over last season.
