Message: [QUOTE="SouthBayHusky, post: 1978780, member: 6201"] I certainly hope not. Although I would be lying if I could confidently believed otherwise. One thing I don't like is justifying every poor season in the AAC, and making excuses already for next year. The quality of our roster (including non injured players) still ranks at the top of the conference. We don't need to be nationally ranked, but there's no excuse to be last or second to last behind ECU in the AAC. I think KO is at a crossroad. The next year (or 2 tops) will definitely be determinative. That said, I hold out a modicum of hope. Next year, we still have Jalen Adams and Rique, both of whom have scads of talent and bring a healthy dose of moxy. I also think that Vance Jackson will become that pure shooter we recruited him for, but there's a lot of confidence issues being thrust into the spotlight as quickly as he has and surrounded by a team that is struggling. Lastly, I think that Ashton-Langford will contribute as a freshman given his obvious talent. I'm still concerned about our front court, but if our guards are firing and we continue to play decent defense, and the coaching improves a little, we'll be in good shape. So I'm going to withhold final judgment, until next year. Confidence, just like pessimism, can be contagious among the players and coaching. A good start to next season could launch us back to relevancy and more. Coach just has to prepare the players better at the start of next season. [/QUOTE]
