Re: I hope these guards can play

I agree that we don't have div. 1 experience this year.  Last year we basically needed a miracle after losing Armein.  Last year was almost a miracle and probably would have been if James and Jihad played that last game, or if McNamera doesn't hit that lucky shot over Hicks.  I believe that we watched a miracle last season competing the way that we did and here is to believing that will happen again, just with fresh faces.  Also, the team practicing ll year with Mike Williams is bound to help also.  Tom, I meant no disrespect, just having fun.

  It's all looking good, but remember none of these guys have any Div I 
experience. Looking at returning players we basically have McGowan (963 Div 
1 minutes), and then Allen (240 min) & Tilford (158 min). And Allen/Tilford 
are borderline Div1/Big East talent.

Mick did exactly what he needed to do - went out and got quality JUCO talent 
(with size) that are ready to play.

But we still have a first-year coach putting his system in place, virtually 
no experience, and we're playing in the toughest conference in the country. 
It would be a miracle (literally!) if this team had great success this year. 
But hey, the same was said about Kennedy last year.

We're on the right track and Mick did an unbelievable job filling out the 
roster. But It will take awhile to get the pieces to fit.
