I really like what I have seen so far, I think the season will be a lot more satisfying for us as fans than I had originally anticipated.   Likable team, good players, seem to play well together, but I am still taking a reserved approach on the ultimate results for the season.

With respect to players being underrated etc.    As everyone seems to agree, we are seeing things out of guys that suggest a much, much higher ceiling than their rankings would have suggested.   That said, we need to be careful in setting expectations for them too high for this season.   Bottom line is that they are frosh, seeing things in fits and spurts suggests that they will be capable of doing those things consistently and consistently against good competition as they mature.   It may not be fair to expect that this season.

For example, the offense we saw out of OB last night was fantastic - drives to the  basket and outside shooting.   Does that mean he's gotten himself going or that we should expect to see that regularly from this point forward?   Or does it mean that is what he is capable of, but we'll probably see it inconsistently this season?    I have also really liked what I've seen on offense from BS, although even more inconsistently!  Tune in to find out...I am confident that the season will be more fun than I was originally expecting.

Kudos to the posters like Moqui who were high on this group before we ever saw them take the court.
