Looking forward to 2015-2016 season

[Dave85]

The best available.

We have seven offers for 2015. Two commits. We have 2 more spots assuming Grant leaves this year or next. Who of the remaining five do you think we should get?

 

[Dave85]

All hat but no cattle? I have no idea how good they'll be next year. But I know whether we have Grant, Ennis or norther, we'll be good. And no matter what, in not writing them off. Real fans are like that.

Do agree with me that next year's team will be lot like this year's team. We will have one PG who JB plays 40 minutes per game and towards the end of the season might be a little worn out. Ennis leaving for the NBA still has me miffed. I don't think he's ready or that good for the NBA level. But money is green and beautiful.

Who's "norther"

Blame my phone. But I'm sure you knew it was neither.

I thought it was a reference to some Canadian player I didn't know about!

Why should I not look forward to Next season?

Absolutely! Some of JB's best coaching has been done with teams where a lot was not expected. Just because the freshman didn't do much this year, doesn't mean they won't perform with a year in practice. With the good talent coming in, I think next year could be very exciting.

Personally I'm pumped about the three sons. They seem to work hard. Cooney and g work hard. Joseph looks like he works hard. How do we know bj Johnson doesn't turn into Wes Johnson or Trevor Cooney turns into Andy rautins. Young kids have potential. I think they improve. Maybe we can grow as a team next year as the season goes on. There's not a person on this board that expected us in the final four last year. Duke had 12 mcdonalds all Americans this year and guess what, they still didn't play defense. We still will have defense next year and I don't know how the offense can be worse.

NOBODY has any clue how next year will play out..

OP had a clue.

Wow, I'm not piling on because I said the same thing.

And we were way off.

But seriously, next year's going to be better because it's really true this time: the offense can't get worse.

OP had a clue.

Sometimes threads from the past can be entertaining. As folks have seen repeatedly, I tend to root for the underdog(I'm actually actually in a break from watching "Private Parts", and so far it's been inspirational). Sometimes getting piled on is worth it if you come away with the ball. Granted, I wish the OP had been wrong about the season, but he said what he believed and wasn't swayed by majority opinion and didn't succumb to being mocked. Truly inspirational, and I say so with sincerity. Dave85 this bud's for you.
