Looks like McClemments has to decide whether to play the young studs or go with the returning players who had a bad season last year. How do you keep two freshmen All-Americans off the field? Its going to be interesting. Is this another rebuilding year?

Looking at the stats for the recent exibition game, it looks like several of the freshman are starters.

With all this talent and reasonable coaching there is no valid reason why this team should not finish in the top 10 this year.

You may be on to something.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. The win over Creighton was enormous — that's a really good team — but there are still some really good teams left on the schedule.

We were #18 in last week's NSCAA poll. Creighton was #16. Good win (away from home — neutral field).

Tulsa is third in the country, and we haven't played them yet. I saw them play when they were in town for a tournament, and they're loaded. South Carolina is getting top 25 votes and always is strong. UAB plays us well and Kentucky is a strong program.

Not saying we won't beat any of those teams — even Tulsa — but I'm not ready to go with a top 10 ranking just yet. (Hoping for one though!)
