Some sports analysts and folks on here awhile back thought that we wouldn't even make the NCAA tournament, and some may still think that is likely.  While it is possible, it might be due to a stronger ACC than us merely dropping off that far.  I'm not how certain a top to bottom stronger conference even is, though it certainly at least looks more top heavy than last season.  With our schedule the way it is though, the team may have time to gel and gain some experience and confidence before the majority of our tougher tests, mixed in with maybe the right amount of OOC tests to give JB more of a yardstick to work with earlier than usual.  While it's difficult to know how inexperienced players will handle adversity, at this point the character of this mix of players combined with their athletic abilities gives them a higher ceiling in my opinion, as you and others have also pointed out.  Sure we question marks, but the potential for greatness is there and may very well manifest sooner than expected by most.  I personally find it healthier to focus on that possibility until I see a stronger reason to think/feel otherwise.
