I hope Justin Burrell is....

STJ needs to shot at a higher percentage from the outside (especially behind the arc) to open things up for JB. Also, a point guard who can penatrate and dish for high percentage shot or kick out for open three. To many times last year teams were just packing down on JB. Outside shoting and a descent Point Guard can open things up. JB has the goods - he is legit.

The coach has to get the entire unit to shoot for a higher percentage collectively. That's the coaches job. One person shouldn't have to cover for Larry. If everyone develops/matures the group as a whole will be more dangerous. The key to this season is the development of last years class. This incoming class will help but Norm's future however long or short is riding with the Soph class.

Every year we're rebuilding. The only chance we have to improve is if someone else can help the soph develop, because clearly no one improves under Norm. That, and we need one of our recruits to be a miracle steal.

the sophs will lead us..but to where?

Hopefully to at least two games above .500 - gain a little respect back.

i guess that'll keep some "fans" happy...two games above .500.

sad.

If the Soph don't show improvement then it will be a long season. JB is legit and Mason is good player but needs to be more consistant. If the rest of the Sophs improve their overall games collectively then we will have something going. Mason being in and out last year did not help the chemisty between the players. Mase is a dynamic player - he showed flashes last year but needs to do it more consistently. The Sophs will lead us! 

Everyone has different standards. Some people's standards are higher than other people's, it's simple as that.

Could not agree more PRD. It's pretty clear that next year(and Norm's future with the school) is riding on our talented sophmore class & a healthy Mason jr. Let's hope for ALL our sake that Burrell, Kennedy, Coker, Evans, Horne & Boothe take a step up... and Mase stays injury-free. Then the wildcard in the equation becomes Rob Thomas. If the reports are true and he has really dropped close to 20 lbs. We may finally have "something going" just like u said. Plus, i am hearing nothing but goiod things regarding Roberts & Edmondson.... especially T..  .. Bottom line is there is plenty to look forward to next season. It's now up to our staff to start earning their money ON the court. Can't wait for Cancun baby!
