There was a thread earlier in the week that said the team would continue to struggle next season, but I have reason to doubt that statement.
1. Rahshon Clark- senior, great leader, excellent defender, strong rebounder. I also think he will work over the off-season to improve his scoring.
2. Mike Taylor- the guy can shoot lights out. Yes he tends to turn the ball over, but he has improved in that area. Plus, I don't know if anybody else has noticed, but the guy plays with great energy for the entire game. Without him, we may not have scored over 40 this whole season as he comes up with 20 pts. every game.
3. Wesley Johnson- enough said.
4. Dodie Dunson- A ton of potential and has proven that he can play great D and make big shots. Off-season will benefit this guy.
5. Jiri Hubalek- Complete turnaround this year. He has shown, especially in today's game that he can score down low. An entire off-season with McD could elevate this guys post game to an even higher level that we've seen late in this season. Also, his free throws look automatic these days.
6. Alex Thompson- I see Alex being an excellent addition to this team next year. He adds size, experience, and takes pressure off of Jiri. I think everybody should be excited about this guy coming to play for the Clones.
7. Don't forget that we've got Diante Garrett and Craig Brackins coming in next year. Sure, nobody knows how good they will be immediately, but I'm sure nobody thought Wesley Johnson would come in and be as big a stud as he is. These guys will be a huge addition next year.
I don't think we'll be big 12 champs next year, but this team will be extremely competitive. I'm still buying an NCAA berth and look for some big upsets next year.
