Message: [QUOTE="Tenspro2002, post: 3911378, member: 889"] Expectations should be more or less as follows, and I think Hurley would agree with this: [LIST] [*]Ranked and comfortably in the Tournament most years [*]Good years (~1/3 of the time) top 15, winning the Big East, 3 seed or better, Sweet 16/Elite 8-type run with a higher ceiling [*]Consistent player development [*]Bad years ( <1/3 of the time) fringe bubble team at worst with a young team [/LIST] The problem is that given where the program was, it took 3 years just to get into a stable cycle, and next year is looking potentially like one of those less-than-dominant young teams. I think we'll probably be around the bubble next year, albeit with a lot of variance. But the year after that, 2022-23, with Gaffney and Akok as seniors, Sanogo and Jackson as juniors (no, neither of them is leaving after next year), and a year under the belt for next year's incoming class, should be one of those top 10, second weekend type teams.
