Yeah, I don’t know where the points come from either with that group. But, the portal and relaxed transfer rules makes it difficult to project more than a year down the road.
There is no way on God's green Earth that this team goes to the NCAA next year. Ceiling is .500, possibly a little better if, for some insane reason, Nance comes back. I can't get inside his head, but I would go to EU, make some money, have some fun.
Theoretically we get EVERYONE back next year except Elyjah Williams. The only two seniors are Nance and Greer, and I can definitely see Greer returning using his COVID exception. I have a feeling that Nance moves on, either Europe or transfer. But looking at Kopp's experience at Indy, Nance might think twice about transferring. This year it has not been uncommon for the team to play better without Nance anyway. Add Hunger to the mix, plus maybe a key incoming transfer, and this team could make a run next year. Of course Buie and Audige need to have brain transplants for the team to play significantly better, but one can hope.
EDIT - it's intriguing to think about a healthy PBJ transferring in next year...
I'm not following your comparison here, could you flesh it out a bit for me? And I mean the players, not the NCAA expectation part.
At this early point (nearly seven player-seasons), this group of six players looks like they’ll get about as many all-conference honors as the group from Pardon to Gaines. Which is to say, this looks like a three-year recruiting dry spell.
I would be so happy to be wrong.
Not only will Nance probably leave but young has been here 4 years and can leave as well
and Greer.
"you know Ryan, I'd love to have you back, but I have to play Robbie and Casey cuz they're both Top 100s and obviously Boo and Chase, so yeah, we'd love to have you back for 10 minutes a game..."
Thanks for that.
I think the transfer portal makes things a lot more up in the air. Having said that, I like what I'm seeing out of Simmons, Berry, and Roper. I'm hopeful that both Berry and Roper will be solid contributors next year and Simmons the year after that. They all seem faster, more agile, and more confident than Ash, Falzon, or Ivan, and they don't seem to be injured all the time.
I haven't seen enough of Nick or Barn to have any expectations beyond they need a lot of development like many kids who come to NU. I don't think we'll know until they either disappear or start playing decent minutes next year. I was a proponent of Benson as someone who would develop into a starter, so what do I know?
Your hysterical.
I will send your +/- garbage along with your resume to CCC so he can have access to your wisdom and wit.
Collins should have plenty of time to read all the posts on here once he’s canned
