Field of 68 - Offseason Grade | The Boneyard

Field of 68 - Offseason Grade

I thought this was a very fair assessment. This roster is a National Championship contender, and Dauster is correct that Samson is the X factor for what our ceiling will be because Clingan can't play all 40 minutes.

I'm not sure what we could have done to earn an A or A+ offseason grade though. Maybe if Hawkins, Jackson, and Sanogo all came back lol but that was never going to happen.

We lost guys Everyone loses guys. But the guys we have THIS YEAR are an A, not an A minus. This team has as much as anyone in the top ten. That's an A.

That's not what they graded - it was the team's offseason. It was not a grade of the overall roster.

something they didn’t consider for their off-season grade is how we kept our entire coaching staff together.

that is great but did anyone get a serious offer?
 
Any time we're either graded or ranked.... its usually under..... according to the "experts". No difference here.
 
all valid points. we all know what to expect from upperclassmen & freshmen, if samson is serviceable this year then you get the A
 
They should give an A instead of an A+. With winning national championship, top class, starting PG back, recruiting Samson back, perfect transfer. What else is there? Sanogo coming back with Clingan could never happen. But - who cares. We are happy fans.

Certainly want a successful Big East season and want this team to compete at a high level in the out of conference schedule. But as far as national title expectations so many questions to answer even with a highly talented roster. Still need people you can go-to when the game is on the line, need to find a winning chemistry with lots of new pieces and it’s not easy.

I’m in the same boat as @TheChamps990411 just want to enjoy a solid season, no one and outs. Watch the kids grow and let it play out. Could end up being as good if not better than last year and lose early, one never knows. But like where we are for sure!
 
Our projected starting five is solid and I can see impressive second year growth from Alex/Donovan.. Our second unit with Diarra/Samson and the freshmen will play an important role in how successful we will be in the BE and in March.. How quickly do they develop and contribute?? Expecting a different rhythm to this season vs last with our youth.. Could still be crazy good with our roster.

A-grade should change with one or two more commits to 24/25 in next 2-3 months.

Only here can we take an A- and be mad about it. We lost our 3 best players, there has to be some impact on a grade with that guys…

But, but, but, this is the Boneyard isn't it? That's what we're here for isn't it? Finding the dark cloud? Forgetting the silver lining?
