I think the buzz word for this season is "competence" and "competitiveness". 
We need be more solid, and that's what these new guys offer, potentially.

Yes, unless we add a couple more guys, the season will hinge on Freeman and Westry, and if both are not good for at least 10-12 points a game, this team will be likely out of the tournament again.  We are still short a couple guys.

Now, if we can add another big, and some seem to think we want a 6th guard when we only have 3 forwards, well, I've already argued that point to death.

But last year, our interior defense got worn down and fell apart.  We're still pretty thin up front.  If we can further repair that, this could be a pretty good team.

Then, if Red goes out and wins 24 games, we get to an ACC Semifinal, and at least the 2nd round of the NCAA, he will have something more substantial to sell.  He will also be able to point to the hopeful progress of Donnie Freeman, to convince others stud players like that Top 10 guard we're courting, that it's a good choice to come here.

Much hinges on us having a solid, winning season. Then he's got something to sell.
