I'm a fan and I like the orange tinted comments from the SUFan crew, but what exactly about next year's team has everyone thinking we're FF bound? I see a lot of question marks.

Don't get me wrong, I'm super excited about the "talent" we are adding, but we know how JB coaches and we know what it takes to play sufficient zone defense to keep the players on the floor. Battle, Gillon and White (?) are unknowns at this level and in the defensive acumen that is expected for players seeing the floor for extended minutes. While I would love to project that they will meet all expectations of the fan base, I do have to temper my excitement.

Having said that, I'm pretty excited about next year (yes, I am contradicting, to some level, what I said above ... but I'm a fan!), in particular how Frank Howard and Tyler Lydon have grown. Having additional outside shooting, from any perspective, will allow us more open looks, so I hope that Gillon and White meet expectations. And if Battle takes the starting PG duties then its probably a good sign.

And having said [I]all [/I]of that - the one thing that always excites me about SU Sports is seeing how our players develop. It's one of the reasons I love CBB and College Football.
