A big advantage next year

Except at San Jacinto, where Houston had 910 men, about 5 times the garrison at the Alamo and only slightly less than Santa Ana's 1,360.

Santa Ana split his forces, damn light weight. Houston made short work of his contingent.

Gotta love historical dominance

And this is my biggest fear for next year... JB does not make any effort to keep bench guys happy or build a rotation. He only subs on an as needed basis not as a part of a plan. So while have all of this vaunted depth by January we will be down to a 7 man rotation because the other dudes are deemed “not ready”

I think it will be more like the 2011-12 team that went 10 deep:
Syracuse University

The amazing thing about this year's team is that, once Geno left, we had three guys who had played college basketball before this year and two of them (Chukwu and Howard) had not played alot of it and were coming off injuries. The third, (Battle) was going from the #4 option to the #1 option. Yet we won 23 games and got to the Sweet 16.

Great callout SWC and I certainly hope we have better results as the returning team meshes with the new. That said the dynamics are rarely the same year on year and is by no means a certainty. Hopefully everyone comes in with a good attitude, team focus and hopefully great things happen including our finding a consistent outside threat.
