I can only speak for myself -- I like a lot of what GMac and the staff have done, bringing in players.  I think guys like Tobiason, Wilson, Doty [and maybe Dual] are going to surprise.

BUT I think there are still some question marks.  Namely, outside shooting and point guard.

I understand where Mike is coming from above -- when I squint, I can see this being a solid team.  But you can't disregard that we've added a bunch of lower conference guys, and we're expecting them to excel in the ACC.

The might be able to.  Or maybe some of their production might not translate.  And we're rolling the dice at PG with Dual / Moesch, no matter how people want to spin it.  Maybe they'll surprise, or maybe they'll struggle.

Maybe GMac will be able to "coach" this group up, or maybe the lack of outside shooting will sink us even if the team plays hard and can defend.

Lots of question marks.  Pointing that out doesn't seem like pessimism to me.

And for the record, I've waxed ecstacic about Tobiason and Wilson.  I've repeatedly stated that I believe that Goodrick might surprise, and prove to be a starting caliber player for us down the road.  I like Dual's potential, surrounded by other versatile wings.  I think that Siby might prove to be an immediate contributor.

But none of that is guaranteed to actualize.
