<WBR>This is a big season for Coach Weber.<br>
<br>
I've pretty much exhausted my patience for guys who haven't bought into the system or displayed the maturity that's expected of players at elite programs.<br>
<br>
The great coaches, and I believe BAM is a great coach, have teams that overachieve and take care of business on and off the court. I'm excited about the prime recruits down the line, but I just want to know the foundation is there for continued success. That begins right now.<br>
<br>
OWW!<br>

Randle. The hope was the improvement on the perimeter would compensate, and now
we've lost perhaps the best scoring option from that group. There's always a
chance, given we do have a number of new guys that can step up, but we'll have
to see how that works out.

I'm always drowning in the koolaid, but I think this team is going to
surprise people. We now have a legit point, which will help the all the
others know their roles. Meach is healthier than he's been in two years
and he'll be able to do what he does best, spot up and fire. Legion is
a legit stud, albeit a youngster. Chet will bring it defensively every
time out, like he's always done. The young folks will battle down low,
the schedule is a bit lighter than last year, and I think this team is
more cohesive than they've been the past few years. That should
translate to protecting the home court, with Clemson, Purdue and MSU
being the only clear threats to win at AH, IMHO. I see 20 wins and an
NCAA berth.

agreed. This has been an albatrosse on our team for far too long. It
will make for another long year in basketball, but hopefully after this
season the turnaround will start and we'll be headed back to where we
belong.
