Jordoooooo... Saturday morning and he's at the controls. Love it.
I'm starting to get a little jazzed about '16. This year, we're thin in the middle, and our bench is loaded with projects or freshmen - talented, yes, but green. However, in 2016:
1. Chukwu becomes eligible to play after a year lifting weights and learning the zone, and our front line explodes ... DC2 (if he stays) makes our center duo as deep as any in the country and as good as Keita/Rak, maybe better, with scoring and shot-blocking;
2. Our guard rotation will be loaded - KJ as a junior, Battle comes in and MR and Howard return; that's a long, deep, talented back court rotation that could be as good as Triche, Scoop and Dion;
3. Solid at forward too - Roberson will be a senior. If his shot has arrived by then, the sky's the limit for him. Lydon figures to be a matchup nightmare with his length, athleticism and outside game; and Diagne and Moyer add depth and versatility.
Hard not to be excited about the possibilities with this team.
