This year should tell us a lot. Many posters have their own pet peeves that they seem to pound. With all the events that have transpired this year seem very negative I believe they create a situation where many posters get their wish put to the test. Sorry for the length.
1. Development - I believe we see what the junior class can do as well as what the Freshman class
1. Development - I believe we see what the junior class can do as well as what the Freshman class
- Can Tate be the serviceable PG he was supposed to be as a junior. You are a junior now.
- Can Mav be that MSU big man as a junior. You are a junior now.
- Does Black play like a sophomore who was a boarder line 5 star. You are a stud. Just settle down a bit.
- Can Nunn and Hill be the upper classman scorers (leaders).
- Can a freshman class have an impact this year - everyone wants the backup QB and now there just is not much choice. I believe they all have tremendous upside. Can it surface right away. I like them knowing right now that they must produce early on for us to be good. I realize statistics do not favor freshman contributing but other schools seems to make it happen. Why not us.
- Can Finke play like a sophomore.
- Can a freshman run the point if Tate does not make the jump we all hope will occur.
- Can they change the offense to the players if we do not have the players for the offense.
- Do we have a staff that can adjust and improvise when the so called "curse" hits that is really more of a norm.
- Do we land a PG or with an extra schollie get 2.
- Do we get a break out 17 class.
- Can we get a 5 star.
- Do we have kids that are better than their ranking. We always seem to be on the short end.
- I have no idea how the season goes although I am excited still to see how the team and staff react and respond to the adversity. I always start hopeful. The big key will be junior contributors and making "jumps".
- I believe the scrutiny with the UI will buy Groce more time. If he lands a good 2016 class he will buy more mercy. With MT in media focus BB (Groce) is on the back burner right now.
- This year will be a year people can start fussing about whether the development is adequate or lacking. The Juniors must impact play along with Black and Finke.
- IF - we have a bad year and a bad recruiting class we may have to start this crap all over again and I predict we hire ...... Someone we have not heard of.
- I believe Groce "gets it" and he lands the 16 kids he needs as well as starting a good 17 class.
- Brad's article shows that 1 degree difference. It is time for that to work to our advantage. We have more possibilities to overcome trouble than previous years and I believe we do it this year. Despite the setbacks we still may have 7 or 8 scoring threats. I believe the kids step up and the staff steps up. I believe the freshman class is better than the rankings.
