Hey, I expect us to be a top 25 team so I agree. I just think on paper, people’s perceptions will be based on what they think of the core four.

Yes, the core four. I don’t understand why this board is down on Wilcher and Dunlap. They were freshman getting limited time behind a stack of 23-year olds.
Both of them have shown flashes of what they will be with more time and development. Yes, Dunlap needs to get stronger and Wilcher needs a to have less turnovers and better know plays and players. And confidence — which you don’t get sitting on the be bench behind grad students.
I was assuming, given the new incoming class, this would be a year of filling holes and providing solid backups. But it seems you guys just expect starting studs that come along once every five years.

A team deemed marginally better than the 21st best team in the country last year is one that I would sign up for right now. 5 seed potential

Except the Dance selection committee didn't see us as the 21st best team in the country. In fact, they didn't see us as being in the top 72.
 
Maybe Zach was saying the Center position was a priority. Not necessarily Vince.

I think it’s fair to be optimistic that those two will make a big jump and be meaningful contributors. But I think we’re in trouble if we’re depending on them to have a successful season. Hopefully Luis will be healthy and will blossom into a star. I think he has the potential.
 
Did some homework on Deivon Smith and I’m all in. Twice as fast as what we had last year. He’ll make everyone around him better and will extract some offense out of our shooters and centers.

We land him and Dunlap or Zuby for Big East Most Improved Player is a lock.

Pairs well will Mase’s guy Shulga too.

Also same name as my best friend. We lose him and I’m done with the portal.

Do we have a shot with Shulga?
 
There's still nine days left for other guys to emerge. It'll be nice to get "on the board" this week, but we shouldn't stress over us only targeting one sniper (Brea). I have a feeling that the staff knows of other guys who will become available, and will make all the pieces "make sense".

I see Wilcher being a core integral part of the starters, Dunlap the same but with the second squad of players.

Why, Dunlap had plenty of open looks, he just couldn’t make them. Also could no create his own shot which has nothing to do with a pg.

We did less driving and kicking than any other team I saw all year. Our ball movement was complete trash. The best pass was actually almost always from Dunlap.

He took way too many tough to okay shots. He should be able to pass on those and know he will get better looks.

Watch what this kid does if/when he gets a PG.
