Some people here need to take a course in coach speak. No college coach in any sport on any level knows how good or not good his/her team is going to be next year. All they know is they have a chance to be good. It's how coaches think -- do we have a chance to be good or are we up against it this coming year? Obviously from what he knows now he thinks we have a chance to be good. But even if everyone comes back Boeheim won't know good or not good until people begin practice in October. Questions he can't answer until then are about fit, chemistry, cohesion, player maturity, etc. Because the players are so young, they change physically and emotionally a lot over a short period of time. He can't assess that until he sees them actually practice in October. So when he says we'll be good, he's not thinking about managing expectations of the fan base or any of that crap -- he's saying that from what he knows right now he thinks we'll be good, which could range from pretty dang good to mediocre.
