Finally something new. Who knew when teaching started up again all my free time would suddenly disappear. Anyway, enjoy agreeing/disagreeing what we've done with the first part of schedule predictions.
Sorry guys, I'm a little skeptical.
So let's get this straight. Homer Drew, a coaching veteran of 34 years, is replaced by his son who has never been a head coach on any level. His top scorer is gone, as is his next best. His fourth-best scorer is also gone. Dino Jakolis looks to be the only real decent recruit - this taken with a grain of salt as recruiting classes aren't everything. So we're looking at Ryan Broekhoff, Jay Harris and Matt Kenney leading a team to a better record with Bryce at the helm in the first 12 games than Homer did with his senior-laden squad that lost the conference lead with just a week and a half remaining?
I don't buy it.

I think you have forgetten a few new players.
- Ben Boggs - Transfer from Virginia Tech that would be eligible at the end of first semester if he does not redshirt.
- Richie Edwards - 6'7" JC transfer that was the third overall scorer at the World University Games
- Will Bogan - Transfer from Mississippi State University. He is immediately eligible because of the Masters degree transfer rule.
- Vashil Fernandez - 6'11" center from Princeton Day Academy, MD
Bogan and Edwards should have an immediate impact on this years squad and Boggs could be a big bonus if he decides to play after the first semester. If Vucic an Fernandez can help in the post I think things are looking pretty good.
