Message: [QUOTE="RedtheGOB, post: 5428776, member: 8907"] What is selling me on defense is that we dumped everyone from the roster last year that was not a P5 level athlete. We were playing rotations last year with Carlos (barely 6 feet), Cuffe 6'2, Moore a true freshman, Bell (a nitemare on defense) and Petar (when he wasn't lost he was fouling). Maybe a hall of fame coach turns those guys into a team that can play "better" defense and win a few more games. The difference this year I don't believe we have any any guys that will see the court that are not P5 level athletes. At worst the freshman will be P5 level athletes eventually just not as freshman. They are also long and athletic this year which was missing last year. Will the effort, intensity and focus be there this year is a valid question. [/QUOTE]
