Message: [QUOTE="weyuo, post: 3279877, member: 514"] [FONT=georgia][SIZE=5]Too many questions. Can/will Gilbert actually make it through an entire season? Probably not. So who steps in to run the offense and more importantly hit consistent threes to keep the defense honest enough to open the lanes and feed Carlton who should be even better than last year? Brendan Adams? Gaffney(who is a 19 year old freshman)? Can Uconn own the boards or at least come out even by the end of the game? My guess is that the team will be better. Much better? That depends on how healthy they can stay. I do believe buying into Hurley's way is not going to be a problem. It's health and how fast the new guys can gell with the rest that will determine how far they climb. My guess 20 regular season wins because of the plethora of early season cupcakes, a bye for the first round of the AAC Tourney and a 8 to 12 seed in the Big Dance. Pride can turn a good team into an even better team. Hurley may be the guy that can stir up some pride in these guys. We'll see. 20 regular season wins predicted. side note: How much of Hurley's off season health issues effect his court side enthusiasm? Will Christian Vital finally lose that chip on his shoulder now that Jalen Adams is gone and take a more positive, cooperative, leadership role with this years squad? Will he be a loner or a teacher?[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
