Yeah each year is going to be way more of a whole new ballgame now days. Used to take 3-4 years to turnaround a program, now you can do it in one offseason. Problem is you can also go from an elite program to one in the dumps fairly quickly. While incredibly talented we are a very young team with all but 4 of the guys that will be on the floor getting their first taste of D1 ball this year. I talked to Dave the other day, he's pretty fired up about the group, lots of talent. He joked said he absolutely loves them now but jury is still out on his feelings on them on gameday We obviously have 2 easy W's as well as 2 very likely L's and I think realistically they can play the rest of that schedule at 6-4. Getting through the OOC at 8-6 would be a solid start, anything better than that I'd say is a big success for us.
