Assuming Penny comes back, ask we need more is a back up pg, preferably one who can shoot. This is the most complete team we have had in a very very long time.

I think we are now better off from a talent perspective after all the additions and subtractions.  Big men are so hard to predict, but I honestly can't see how Soriano, Wheeler, and the kid who was sitting out this year aren't better than what we had.  Wheeler, particularly, seems like he could excel in this system.

I wish we held on to Earlington, because he was such a tough matchup and always had the potential to change the game.

Mathis seems like he's a better fit for what we do here than what Rutgers did.  Posh, Mathis, and Wusu would be a menacing trio defensively.  Mathis can handle for a two and Wusu is capable of handling some point.

I don't think this is a huge upgrade yet...still would like to see a big-time wing scorer to Champ doesn't have to score 20.

I feel like Champ/Posh are going to be our 1-2 scoring punch, and we have a very nice selection of tertiary scorers. Smith, Mathis, Wheeler, Soriano and Wusu all have a decent chance of averaging in low double figures. Pinzon is a dark horse candidate as well.  I think Wheelers numbers are going to improve dramatically on this team, I want to see a lineup of him, Champ Posh Smith and either Mathis/Wusu. We have the pieces on this team to exploit our opponents weakness, whichever that happens to be.

Let's see who we fill the last two schollies with. Do we get a surprise announcement from Justin wanting to come home and join his bro? Wishful thinking I know, but anything is possible.

A solid backup PG for Posh? Another deep shooter? Been one of the more positive off seasons I can remember around here.

I think more names will emerge. I think there's a nonzero chance Alvarado withdraws from the draft and enters the portal wanting to finish his college career back home. We're in good shape now but theres a good chance another solid player enters the radar at some point.

Soriano mentions in the NY post article that Champagnie told him how much they needed him as a player, which tells me he's pretty much made his decision to come back. Even if he doesn't, I bet the staff has a solid plan B in place. With him back we're an average backup PG away from being a final four caliber team in terms of depth and talent. Obviously I'm a little biased but with some luck I really do believe we could go that far with this team. This coming season is pivotal, if we can finish in the top 4 again and advance to the second weekend in the tournament, or even make to the finals in the BE tournament and get a win in the championship tournament it will put us back on the map and our fortunes will change dramatically.

Nice to be optimistic but if you think with the addition of a back up point guard that we are final 4 caliber team then not only are you biased but you are delusional. Final 4 of the BE maybe.

We may be a backup PG away from being a final four caliber team in your mind...but in actuality we're a backup PG away from being an Nit caliber team.  Fantasy land talk of the 2nd week of the tournament and BE tournament final is delusional coming from a fan of this moribund program.  I wish I could take possession of your medicine cabinet.

This is a wild statement.  I don't see any way we are a Final Four caliber team even if we get Champ AND his brother. We weren't even in the "next four out" category this year, so being able to win just one game in the tournament would represent a significant leap.

Ten wins in the big east was a fantasy. How this team will mesh is a guess at best, but it's ok to have some fun.

Our roster is significantly better than last year. On paper we don't appear to have any weaknesses. Maybe I'm alone in this but I think Posh is going to make a huge jump and we'll have two all BE players, surrounded by the most complete and versatile roster in a long time. More then half the team are nyc or surrounding area kids, chemistry will come naturally.

You should try being delusional sometime, it's a lot fun. You sound like you could use some too dude lighten up. I can't believe no one else realizes how solid this roster is. We have a dynamic star who is going to be a Jr, Posh is primed to breakout as well. Look at the development from Champ year one to year two, if something similar happens with Posh we'll have two all conference players for sure. We finally have a legit big, idk I just see the consistent improvement and they're off season moves don't indicate anything changing. Remember now I said with good luck we could make the final four, I I should have probably emphasized that more lol.

The one positive thing that we have seen with CMA is that players have actually improved year to year under him. Under Mullin/Lavin/Norm, players never got any better.

Fun is fun and delusions are delusions.  But you talk complete and utter bullshite nonsense around here and you will get called out for it.  Same as it ever was.

What's nonsense? This team is deep and talented. Take some viagra you miserable old prick. Your misery is blinding from seeing the best team we have in two decades. If we stay healthy and JC is back we're going to be ranked, top 4 BE finish and hopefully we get lucky and go on a run. Much less talented teams have made it to the final 4.
