I like our roster

This looks like a strong team going into next season. Four starters return (based on minutes played). We lose only Mr. Akins from last season's top five. Plus, Shane Edwards, Matt Mouzy, Derrick Bails and LaMarvon Jackson all return from the bench, all having a least 139 minutes from last year. We addressed two significant concerns in our recruiting, that being depth at point and rebounding. We ought to be even better defensively, since the main players will not have to get into sync with each other as was the case last season. So, the early problems with getting the line-up set shouldn't have to happen this year. How good we are will depend to a large extent upon whether or not someone steps up offensively. I will predict that if one of our major players takes a giant step forward in his play this season and the others improve as might be expected, this team will be in the hunt for post-season.
