Message: [QUOTE="AlaskaSU, post: 1120437, member: 230"] We need untested players to step up; the two frosh, BJ and Robertson, plus others to improve like TC, XMAS and MG. Enough of them will most likely make the grade for us to have a successful season. We have confidence because our players always come through. Why do enough of them always come through regardless of their highschool rankings? Look at the football team, where the team seldom exceeds expectations. Is it tradition, culture, coaching or just individual effort? My speculation is that it is the intangible factors of tradition and culture. We have an expectation of winning and perhaps that creates the confidence enabling players to come through in the clutch? Confidence is a significant factor in athletic endeavors, even among the most talented. Therefore, tradition and culture are our determing factors. Comments? [/QUOTE]
