Yes and no. I am a SU fan/alum and an admirer of Virginia's program/Bennett. I think I was fair to UVa and Bennett. No hatchet jobs on anyone there in my post, one small jab at Perrantes and his propensity to smell his fingers, but that was in good fun. He's a really really good player (All-America caliber). Can be as good as anyone at that position IMHO. But he does have to come out and prove he can do it on his own. He's never had to.

My point is that they have 2 proven scorers and then the drop off is rather sharp. Now, past circumstances tells up that a bunch of guys are going to average more than 5.0 ppg. Opportunities are being presented in Bennett's program, which is pretty deep and talented, and someone is going to seize it. We just don't know who or to what degree. You don't know. I don't know. Tony Bennett MIGHT know (or at least have an inclination).

I just think that SU's roster contains a much greater number of established players, and in most cases, we know who they are and what they represent. The only matter is how do they fit together. And fortunately, JAB is really good at this. I'd be surprised, but not shocked, if SU wasn't a better squad this year than the Cavaliers. Longer term, UVa is in a really good place.
