I'm neither negative nor positive, just interested in excellent BB.
We saw a lot of it the last ten or fifteen years.
With this group, its a bit fleeting.
Without a doubt there's potential, but we're perhaps a power forward short to take it all (and perhaps our string of #1's are not quite that...time will tell).
This team might be among the elite as we progress, or we may suffer some big disappointments,
I'm more inclined to suspect the latter. But the future is bright.
I have no ties to he University (or fanaticism) which makes my loyalty suspect; just Geno's pursuit of excellence...I can't say I followed the team around like Danny or some others, but did drive up from NY fairly regularly, went to regionals in Albany, Philly, Trenton, Stanford...some weird place in Rhode Island. and saw them live in various places around the country, when we were able to coordinate games with travel.
I always loved the 'yard as a place to discuss BB seriously...it used to be a pretty tough place with some extraordinarily knowledgable and impatient posters, but its calmed down some.
What's my point? I hope this place remains an interchange about the finer points of BB. There were always questions about the purity of one's loyalty (count me out) and if we should resume the series with Tennessee...but although I'll opine on those issues once in a while...it's just not my main interest
