we may have depth but they are not great or even good players. Not expecting ponds to be all conference but I am hoping and expecting he will pass mussini and Ellison almost immediately.

Ellison and Mussini are not "good" players? Compared to players on what teams? Duke and Kentucky? They were freshman who both needed to put muscle on, learn the game, etc. To be declaring they are not good players is ridiculous.
We were 1-18last year. Most of our guys were not good. Mussini and Ellison could improve tremendously and we could 4-14. Just because they got better doesn't mean they were good. Good means better then average. Good means winning games .
Declaring mussini and Ellison good or even decent big east players is even more ridiculous to me. Ponds is a top 50 player- he is not competing with Kentucky players he is competing with 1-18 guards.
I like Yawke I think he will be good. Not close to great this year. I like sima. I hope he is good (meaning he is as good as the player be is playing against much of the time). That was not the case last year when we played decent teams.
Everyone else from last year is well below average. Again 1-18. Most games were not close. Ponds, Ahmed, And Lovett are huge additions. Leftovers are hopefully on the bench or much improved . Being positive is fine. I remember some good moments from last year. I also remember giving up 50 plus in the 1st half plenty.
We were last in conference last year. I think most of you thought we could have been better. I don't . I think if we played 50 conference games we may have not won another game. We beat DePaul . I enjoyed it. But I think they were much better then us.
I am excited for the new guys to come in and assert themselves.
