...if we suck next year we need to can him ASAP.
I am trying to figure out how we don't suck next year.
So, at the 4 and the 5 we have Marko, Jenkins, Copes and Royals filling minutes. Unless we get a whole lot out of Royals right out of gate, I have to call that a wash.
The 1, that will likely be Moore and Edwards sharing the minutes at some ratio. That is a wash compared to this year.
The 2 and 3 we will need 2 to 3 guys getting heavy minutes. Holloway is obviously going to be one of those. Who else? Gray? A guy that is either not compatible with Hewitt or will have been completely demoralized by next year, or even gone...So, we will be depending on a rookie or two to make an immediate impact in order for us to improve in that area.
Is there going to be a magical improvement in Hewitt's coaching?
So, those that think we are going to be significantly improved, where do you see it coming from? Do you think we hit the rookie jackpot like we did with Jenkins with our new guards? What are the odds of that? Is Royals going to be a miracle transfer? Do you base that on the track record with our other Hewitt transfer, Okoloji?
I, honestly, can't see how we play better next year than we are playing this year (unless the rest of the A10 drops significantly). The only way I see improvement is if, somehow, there is addition by subtraction, and two of our most productive players (Allen and Wright) actually make the rest of the team worse. I guess it is possible, but how likely?
Then we get to the end of year four and the we start the same process all over again, hoping that the next year is better than the previous. Because the new guys are going to turn it around, or the extra year under Hewitt is going to make the guys better (like this year).
On a different topic, I have some swampland in Florida to sell some of you. Since there are many on here that seem to have infinite hope in spite of the evidence, there is hope that the land will be really valuable one day...
