. I've been extremely wrong three seasons in football - I thought we were set up to win big in GG's final season, but the OL completely melted down. I thought we were going to be okay in June's last year because I thought the players that had shown well two seasons prior would come back and do well, but everyone quit. Finally, I thought we would be better in Morris first season, because I thought Davis was a perfect fit for his offense.
However, for the record, I had us at 6-6 last year in football, pretty close considering most on this board were at 3-4 wins. Last year in basketball, I predicted that we would finish first in the AAC and Semi would be all conference. I said we would finish 3rd if Semi wasn't all conference.
This year, Jarrey at the 4 full time scares me a little bit. Tons of reliance on frosh scares me. McMurray's fit scares me. And I don't see reliable scorers that compliment Shake outside of McMurray, who is coming in late and I'm not sure if he fits the offense or defense. Who takes the game over in a close contest? There are a ton of unknowns that would prevent me from ranking the team or calling for a top 3 or 4 finish in the league.
If Whitt is great, Jarrey is a reliable scorer, McMurray fits like a glove, and a frosh big plays well to form a good 3 man rotation in the 4 and 5 spots, then yeah we are going to battle for the top spot in conference. But this could very well be an NIT team because we don't have McMurray in the OOC, struggle there, and a lack of reliable scorers and closers leaves us fifth in conference.
