I am excited about Lydon, the rest of this class, and the next class coming in, I think we're building an absolute power and believe we'll be the squad we were the late 2000s and early 2010s (not saying we've been awful the past few years because we haven't).

I think Lydon has the capabilities of being a great player for us, even right out of the gate, but from what I've seen posted about him recently getting a little out of control, he's getting more hype going into this season than McCullough did coming in last year (queue in the 100 reasons why Lydon is way better than McCullough) but we've seen it time and time and time again where a guy comes in with expectations that are just becoming too much and almost impossible for him to fulfill.  I think he will be good and be a very strong player for us but it's almost to the point where we're putting too high of expectations on a guy who hasn't played a minute for us and we really don't know how his game will translate to our level, nevermind the fact that if he doesn't pick up the zone he would be regulated to the bench with G and Roberson manning the 4/5 being upper class players.

At the end of the day Richardson is the gem of the class, there was a reason why Richardson was recruited by powers across the country, a MDAA, and a top 25  recruit, it's not fair to put Lydon ahead of him which seems to be happening when either one hasn't played a minute of college ball.
