I'm as cautiously optimistic as the next guy on the BY, but I worry again that we don't have a ton of continuity as a team again going into next year so we may hit some rough patches early on.
Unknowns:
1. Do Larrier and Gilbert come back 100%? They're two fantastic players, but what separates them, at least in the tiny sample size we got, is their athleticism. Larrier had a bad knee injury and AG has had a reoccurring shoulder issue. Do those linger?
b. Even if they do come back 100%, will this team gel quickly enough early on to win a few marquee non conference games and not lose to the minnows? I love that JA will come in as the alpha next year, but it may take time for the rest of the rotation to shake out.
3. Bigs. I won't belabor this point much more.
