Expectations, or excitement?

                 It is natural to be excited about this team. Excitement is about possibilities: what might be. And this team might be pretty good, no doubt about it.
               However, we need to temper our expectations just a little bit. At the moment we have four (4) players who played ball at the Sun Belt level last season. That is all, just four. So, let’s slow down just a minute for a reality check.
               We have two players who did not play at all last season, both of whom have Sun Belt experience, but neither of whom were overwhelming talents. We have a high school recruit who has never played a minute of college ball, and a juco who has never played a minute of D1 ball. We have juco transfer who has a previous year at the Southland level. We (reportedly) have a transfer who played in the MEAC last year, which is WAY below the Sun Belt, no matter how good a player he was there.
              So, let’s enjoy our enthusiasm and excitement, because it is exciting; but let’s not let our expectations get out of kilter just yet. We still have a LONG way to go.
