Non-conference, Penn State and LIpscomb will move up significantly by year end.
Cincinnati reloads rather sell from what I have noticed. Did you tell Jank that you would support him on the board if he gave you a tidbit or two.
Sell? Not sure what you mean.
The home non-conference schedule sucks, everyone agrees with that. But there are a couple of games on our schedule where we face good teams and will get a barometer. Penn State and Libscomb are two of those games.
Not throwing someone under the bus repeatedly is not equivalent to blindly supporting. I wait until I see the results until I start trashing the coaches and players of the teams I support. Wow, I am an actual fan! I get it that the pitchforks are out against Jank, just like they were against June. I'm just not going to join the angry mob until I see more disappointing results (and I'm already disappointed because I thought we underperformed at the end of last season. If the recruits were good enough, the injuries wouldn't be an excuse). My expectation this season is a team that closes the second half of the conference schedule very strong and gains an NCAA bid.
To be very clear, last season was the equivalent of June's 5-7 season. Either Jank recovers, or he doesn't. I'll support him and the team and see what happens. If we don't make the NCAAs, it isn't going to be because of the starters. It is going to be because Young, Hunt, Nixon, White, and Douglas don't contribute enough either off the bench or filling in for players who get injured. So, if he missed on those recruits as you and others suggest, then we will go to the NIT or worse and IMHO Jank's position is in jeopardy.
