My wish list is:
1) Harrison comes back focused. The kid is a killer. When he is on his game, there aren't more than 3 better shooting guards in the NCAA. I truly believe that. Harrison is a huge key to our success. He's been a bit maligned and forgotten. I hope he uses that as a chip on his shoulder. Not many can match his scoring ability out there.
2). We advance at least one round in the NCAA's. I think this is something that is a minimum for us. We really should. Frankly I have even higher hopes but am being a bit cautious.
3). We land a solid 14' class, which I actually think is an obvious outcome. We all know Lavin can and will land a good 14' class. This past season, Lavs landed Rysheed late when most thought we might be done with recruiting for the season. Instead we landed the #17 player in the class and got a year out of Sanchez. Lavin will be fine here.
Overall, I think these are attainable goals. We have maybe the deepest team we have ever had. Look at the kids we have at the 10-13 spots and you see our depth. We have guys like Hooper and Bourgault, two nice shooters trailing our lineup. Best and deepest SJU team we have had in a long, long while. I'm not sure who we can't match up with. Very excited about the season ahead of us. The Phoenix rises...
