I’m definitely among those who are slow to get excited for hoops. Some of that is real-world stuff taking my attention, and the football season hasn’t helped excitement either. But the state of our hoops is part of it too, for sure. I mentioned in another thread that I fear a return to early 90’s. Here’s some of what gets me there:
* When was the last season you remember that we didn’t have a sure-fire 1st team PL player? A first-tier contender for PL POY? A guy who would start for every other PL team?
* I don’t think we can begin to guess who will start this year. Maybe 2 locks. That’s uncomfortable.
* I don’t think we have a single returning, proven paint player.
* I see posts of team pix, and pix from workouts, and am shocked at how few players I recognize. Sure, much of that is on me – my own engagement is down. Startling none the less.
* Our OOC schedule looks very tough. I wouldn’t change that – I think it’s good for the program in every way. And most years it would ADD excitement. My optimism is just low this year, and it looks like we’re going to have a rough start.
