I really have no idea what to expect this season. Has there ever been a season where we entered with little to no understanding of what this team will look like?

We lose Gillon, White, Lydon, Thompson & Roberson from a team that did not make the NCAA Tournament. That's tough to overcome.

Tyus Battle is primed for a big year, Thorpe has all the makings to be more consistent than Gillon as a fifth-year guard and Frank Howard has the talent to be a difference maker. I think the backcourt will be fine.

The frontcourt is another story. Three complete unknowns who have played exactly zero minutes in the zone (Moyer has practiced but 0 game minutes). Two centers who have not much more experience than that.

I expect our defense to be a big issue early, and depending on the three young forwards, our offense could be just as bad.

I am really excited about the recruits coming in next year and if these guys on the wings develop -- I just fear that this year might be another 18-14 type of season where we are trying to scrape a 10 or 11 seed out.
