Four game gauntlet

raider & jazz. i think you are stating what you want to be not what you can show with any measurable facts. think about this. in the last 3-4 years our graduation losses have amounted to on average about 35-40% of our offensive production. i have not gone back and measured it i am just estimating. even when we lost dashaun and drew, i would bet they were no more than 40-45% of our offense. we also lost 2-3 starters most of those years. after this season we will lose probably 65% of our offense and 4 starters. that is huge. and will be very difficult to overcome. also, our team next year, i think will have 1 senior, 2 juniors and the rest freshmen and sophs. that is so very inexperienced. mid majors thrive on experienced players and do not recruit all that many freshmen who can step in and be stellar right away. i do believe that when julius and armond are seniors, our current freshmen are juniors, next years freshmen are sophs and we have a good group of freshmen, then we will be competing for the league title. you need 4 recruiting classes not 2 and you need experienced players in the lineup and on the bench. rock is right. we just need to be patient and let it come. ( i am not all that good at being patient).

Keith,
Rock stated that next year will be scary for us. I disagree with that. I don't know if we will be competing for HL titles yet, but I doubt things will be scary either. We loose alot of scoring from this senior class, but next year's team should physically be more like what our coaching staff wants. We are having to play guys out of position due to depth and injury problems this year. Next year we will actually have 4 guys 6-8 or taller and 2 more that are 6-7. All of them should be more physically mature too. IMO, our biggest problem this year has been us getting eaten alive on the boards. I think our inside game could be a strength for us next year. This is all just my opinion.
