> I wouldn't put too much stock into the Magazines rankings.
They pay very little attention to smaller leagues,do no research
on our recruits and can't guage off season Development.
> In 2016, Tennessee had a NY kid named Kevin Punter(JUCO
transfer) who went from 10 PPG to 22 PPG JR to Sr year while
only playing 3 more minutes per game. Only one's who could
predict that drastic of improvement were the one's close to his
development.

> We have the most talented Roster in the league, No question
about it.
> I'm buying Yeboah as a perimeter threat. He shot 35% on 4.5
attempts per last season. He'll be at 38-39% on 5 attempts per
this season.
> Olaniyi is true to his craft and should jump from 31% to 35% ,
he's shooting it way better and his work ethic is something we
all know about.(Media has no idea). Olaniyi looks like the type
of kid that makes that year to year jump I mentioned Kevin
Punter making.
> If we have 3 guys shooting 35% or better from long range we'll
be respected behind the line.
> Which like you guys said, will clear out space for the big
fellas to work down low but also it will create hard close outs
for dudes like Olaniyi,Cornish and Lattimer to boogie to the
basket in a straight line.

I'd like to believe this, but like others haven't seen us, we
haven't seen them. That said, between Latimer and Otchere, I
believe in this coaching staff's ability to recruit.
On top of the Fordham scrimmage, I think that the GW game is
very much winnable. They lost a ton.

I'll be at that GW game hopefully. Should be good.

consensus up in the cap district is that UA can be great, bad,
or in the middle:

rotation this year and an offense that completely centers around
Yeboah, Olaniyi, and Jaron Cornish.

Geesh. I just can't take any of these fringe sites seriously if
they aren't doing the work. I don't expect a shorter rotation at
all, do you? And Olaniyi is a national star in the making? Hey,
I LOVE the kid as much as anyone but I'd love to hear where he
heard that.

Pundits barely pay attention to basketball down at this level.
Outside of the top 10 or so leagues it's really a crapshoot to
find any decent coverage. Oh well. Come March everyone will know
how good we are.

Seriously, I could come up with that sort of review just looking
at who's coming back and who's not. As a matter of fact, I
could do that for any college sport. Hope this guy wasn't paid
much for this "in-depth" effort, as I didn't learn anything from
it.
