I love George and he was a solid Cyclone for the 12 years that he spent in Ames......Go Clones!!
HaHa. Love George. I will miss the Gramps, but we have some good talent at the 4-5 coming in. We will be senior dominated for sure. This just seems weird because none have been here very long. I think we will have to get used to that now though.
I don't want to rain on your enthusiasm. Nothing wrong with being excited about your team. Like last year, I will again wait through most of the non-conference season. I'll just throw out 7-8 wins there. We can't do as good as last year. Can we? I expect the team to also improve once Tre King is eligible.
In Big 12, I'll go 10-11 wins, maybe better if we get AJ and he is able to have a big year. if we do less than that we need more W's in the non-con.
Hoping we make the Dance again, of course. Next year, we will have a big overhaul to replace this senior dominated team.
I'm setting expectations at 10 wins like last year. That worked out pretty well
Seems reasonable. I like how it worked out.
Only so many minutes to go around. I really like Watsons potential, but I doubt he sees much PT. Too many experienced upper class men. Although I see this group as two subsets: Osun, Ward and Jones. Kunc, King and Watson. Given the roster makeup, I see all the freshman seeing limited time this season. That said, I think they have a bright future. With all of our seniors next year, across all positions, I see another big portal year coming.
I look at it this way. Being this optimistic until the season starts makes life pretty good up to that point. Then 'adjusting' that optimism as the season unfolds is the key to sanity from there on out. So, thanks for the optimistic outlook. It's certainly better walking around with that than what others will walk around most of the time with.
Yup. I'll go along with that too.
