Really surprised they let Bezold go here. The transition to Division I hasn't been easy, but not everyone can be FGCU. I feel like he probably should have gotten another year.

I agree. I thought they were on the rise. Expectations are obviously very high there.

....and two perennial NCAA Tournament teams across the river, you probably have unrealistic expectations.

Not just that. Louisville down the road, Indiana not too far away, Murray State and Morehead State in the same Commonwealth, Miami and every other MAC school picking players from the area, etc, etc, etc.

They are fighting an uphill battle all the time. They won a small battle with the arena they've got though.

Good points! Long term, with that arena, and how nice a lot of N.Ky and Cincy is, they should be able to compete with or exceed Miami, Murray State, Morehead in recruiting. They're in a pretty good situation to build from.

Look for Travis Steele to get a good look at the position.

Actually surprised he hasn't landed somewhere already. Good call. Especially with Dante already there and knowing the roster. I'm sure Travis would keep him.
