...and yahoo ranked the Pards 339! Many publications have us dead last in the PL. One picked Army third! Are we really going to be that bad? It seemed like we made strides last year... |

Have I missed something or are there truly only 3 freshmen on this year's roster? It looks like two more big guy "projects" (translation: they do not make a sound when they applaud) and yet another of those "gamer" guards that we love so dearly.
Do I sound jaded? Oh, I didn't mean to.
My depression knows no limit. I wish it were mid-March when this torture will be over. |

I am continually amazed at the big men bashing, do you really think that a 6'8" to 7 footer that has a high skill level and hi GPA/SAT is going to be successfully recruited by a PL team? These types are the big name conference property, David Robinson being the, in recent memory, exception and he was considerably shorter when he signed with Navy. The PL big men do tend to be "projects" that will not contribute till they are upper classmen because if they were all that as freshman they would be playing in the ACC/SEC/Big Ten etc.
Provided everyone stays healthy, this team will be better than last year. It appears that Gruner and Kari are on a mission to see that it happens. |

Am I correct in that Fran's staff is virtually all new. That may say something about the state of things. Remember these are the guys that are supposed to be beating the bushes for recruits. |

If someone steps up at PG and runs the team efficiently, I can see improvement. If not, it will be a struggle. Andrew Brown - even when not shooting well - was one of the most important players in the league the past two years. |

Two years ago, yes. Not last year. Stop Brown and you stopped LC. Sadly, most teams did. He also had a so so shooting year compared to prior campaigns. |

Yes, his shooting was not as good last year, although I think a good part of that was attributable to the team having graduated five key seniors from the 2007-08 season - which left him with far fewer open shots in the LC games that I saw. In those games, LC was clearly a weaker team when he wasn't on the floor - even if he was not shooting well. |
