i feels a storms a brewin

wow the staff  is going hard. i  say they finish top 8. st.johns was popping today. it was the craziest ive seen it.

   from your mouth to God's ear!!!

nah it was popping today.before i get crucified let me say i think we finish in the top 8. me personally. i think with this squad it is a real objective.everyone can say 11 or 13 or 16 but me i think top8. and im willing to take my lumps if they finish below that.

Good to hear, kob. Ive been thinking the same, finishing somewhere between 8 and 10

Norm has talent on this team now let see what this staff does with it.

im interested to hear what happened to get you so excited

TOP EIGHT IN THE COUNTRY??? i'm getting one of those nice season ticket packages monasch has come up with.

lol nah newsman im not on those mj drugs. top 8 in the big east

TOP 8 in the Big East is NCAA and that is really progress.

  Clearly  we are in a win-win situation!  If we go to the NCAAs, that great and maybe Norm is getting better. .   If we don't make it,  he's gone.  And the program gets a new lease on life.

So Kob, are you saying the new guys can ball?

Kob, who/what impressed you the most?

How did Brownlee look?

From what Ive heard recently, Brownlee is a lil undersized, very athletic and will get time at the 2. Looks like Norm will be have a bunch of 2's on the court at the same time

This the time to be positive bre. Dont back down.

No, it isn't, not in a down year.  I think this year you have to be top 7 to make it, 8 is gonna take some quality OOC wins.

I recall one preseason Louie said something like "This year you might not like the results, but you'll love my kids. Next year you'll love the results." Might have been a David Russell team, but since I can't even remember Pearl Washington, who knows. Anyway, that quote might be relevant to this team. Interesting kids who play hard and are easy to root for, but maybe a year away from real success.

With 9 Juniors and a 5th year Senior- no "wait till next year". I think more than
half of our Juniors are 3.5 years out of HS anyway, with the Prep route so common.
(Rob, JB,  PH,Hardy, Dele...?)

I'm excited for this year- best depth & experience of Norms tenure !

Without a quality starting point guard or center we are not finishing in the top half of the league.

The team definitely has some talent but I have zero confidence in the coach to develop and build on it over the course of the season.

Last year, Roberts said "no more training wheels"

9 juniors should be enough to field a team that at the very least can run plays.

Wow- rough assessment.
To finish @ 500 in conference we don't need a better than (BE) average at every position.

I am comfortable with the 5 manned by Evans/Dele/JB.
Yes PG appears our weakest link, but we dont know what Stith brings, & not needing 36 minutes  (&ANY 3 pt shots)from Malik1 should increase his effectiveness.
