Less with more

It is entirely possible that we could have more talent on this year's team than last, but end up with significantly fewer wins. Everything broke right last year. It was just one of those seasons that coaches and players dream of having. The team "clicks," the coach looks like a genius, and the wins pile up. The same coach and the same players could play the same schedule ten times and might not ever do that well again - but that one season they do. We had a special season.

But I really like the players we having transferring in, and we have a lot of talent coming back, who will be more mature and ready to step into the limelight with the departure of Roger Woods and Josh Hagins. I also like the fact that there should be a significantly shorter learning curve this season than last given the fact that the players are already accustomed to the new coach. I look for this team to do well, but "well" might be several wins short of last year's total.
