Message: [QUOTE="Hurleyman216, post: 2802171, member: 3517"] Yeah, I see us as a top 50 team entering the year as of right now. Our ceiling is probably Sweet 16/Elite 8 if we gel and stay healthy, but as we all know from 2011 and 2014, once the calendar hits March anything can happen. We will be more experienced, more talented and deeper than last year. The other wild card to me other than Gilbert’s health is how quickly Hurley can change the culture. We all know it’s going to take more than 1 year to do that. The great teams have a culture where freshmen come in and see how dedicated and hard working the upper classmen are and it trickles down and ingrains itself over the years as it did for Calhoun’s teams. I believe Hurley will build the culture, just not sure if he can do it in 1 year with guys who haven’t been coached as well as they should have been for the past few years. [/QUOTE]
