True, but we are bringing back three key pieces from last year's FF run in Lydon, Roberson, and Coleman, plus Howard, plus Chukwu and what would our recruiting class of Battle, Thompson, and Moyer be rated if it also included White and Gillon?
But as others point out in the Top 25 thread, more value is rightfully being given to the Cavs regular season than our FF run. No thought is being given to the fact our regular season last year was unusual to say the least in terms of the 9-game suspension and the lack of quality front-line depth that forced Lydon to play out of position the entire season - problems that will not be there this upcoming season.
Ultimately it will be decided on the court, where UVa has had our number except for the Elite 8 game last year. I think that game showed JB how to beat UVa, and this year we actually have more depth and better players to execute that game plan.
Cheers,
Neil
