Your scenario is banking on everything going right though.  When's the last time that's happened at UCONN?   I mean, I guess we're due, but...

If Carlton goes down, we're screwed.  If Gilbert goes down, we're screwed.  If Akok, goes down, we're in the same position as last year at the 4.  Counting on Diarra for anything at this point is a big bet.  Until proven otherwise, Polley is a jump shooter.  If he improves his toughness, motor, rebounding, and post D, then you could count on him as a 4; I do think that's where he's got to play in college, but you can't count on it yet.   Whaley is...I don't know what Whaley is at this point.

You gotta get serious development out of certain players, most of whom were three star because of limited ceiling.  Some might do it, others won't.   The problem with a lot of our guys isn't just talent, it's size and physicality, or lack there of.

The freshman have to all come in and be ready to contribute.  How often does that happen?

A lot has to go right.   I'm hoping for 18+ wins.   If we aren't above .500, I'll be disappointed.
