Every reason for optimism

There is lot of reason to be optimistic about next season. We do not know who is not returning, and that could be a problem. But I see plenty of upside for every returning player, and that includes Will Neighbour. Every player just has to concentrate on being better next year. Some will whine that Steve Shields is an impediment too big to overcome, but Shields coached a team with 23 wins and another one that went to the NCAA, so his teams have had success. I grant that he needs to improve in some areas, but I do not think his shortcomings are an automatic dismissal of our capabilities next year. There is so much turnover in the league next year that it is difficult to guess where we will finish, so all we need to do is just to get better – every player, every coach.
