Summary - We have no Seniors and only 3 Juniors who played with us last year...but oddly lack of experience does not seem to be a concern. Depth, particularly in the talented backcourt. Questions in the front court beyond Ivo, and questions on who grabs playing time beyong Cooper/Baltic/Kellogg. Bobcats could be real good, maybe...But the MAC appears as strong as it has been in awhile.
AR thoughts - I feel really good about DJ, Ivo, and Nick. Beyond that, I just see a lot of potential and uncertainty...So if out of that group, we can get 2-3 players to really flourish, we should be good. If we have 4-5 impress...we could be very very good. If no one really seperates themself and becomes a key contributor, it could be a frustrating year. Can't wait to kick things off Monday!
What he said!
I will add the the article states that Jacobs has added 30lbs to his frame. It would be great to have him and Keely throwing their weight around and grabbing boards while Baltic is carrying the scoring load down low. Then we can bring in Smith and/or Goard for shot blocking and highlight dunks. There is a ton of potential in the front court, but as AR said, we need at least a few unknowns to show up. I actually don't consider Keely an unknown since we know he will give us solid defense and rebounding. If Jacobs, Smith, or Goard can step up, we could be scary good.
