Agree. Rak's improvement is what swings us from being a Top 25 team to a Top 10 team I think.
I think people might be looking too much at CJ. The obvious choice for most OVERrated player heading to next year is MCW (who I really think will be All-BE). I definitely feel like most folks expect CJ to come up big, but also feel like no one is talking about Brandon.
I guess I might have a skewed view because I think CJ is going to be great for us and just chalk him up as a given for next year.
Is Moqui, like, a really big dude or something? He's the only one I can think of that has that criticism of Thickburger.
This is a good thread. I think Southerland has a chance to be one of those guys that people will make comments a few years down the road that they can't believe he didn't start until he was a senior. Last year he had eleven games in double digits. It would not surprise me to see JSIII the team's leading scorer this year.
"Dude" was a burger boy based on defense. He was the only player at the game that DID NOT average in double figures on offense. To expect him to make vast strides there is a little much especially with decent offense returning. I can see him being a defensive specialist for his career building towards 8 - 9 ppg at best by his last year.
Triche is a 4th year senior, 4th year starter ... he's already rated pretty well up there. Cooney doesn't have to take over to still be vastly under rated. He is just going to be a momentum-shifting sniper that will open up defenses for the rest of the team who will then be able to find seams & bang down low for O-rebs. Something sorely lacking last season.
