Remember how 95% of Cyclone fans (glad to say I wasn't one of them) were pooping their pants over the thought of losing Babb, Lucious, McGee, and Clyburn last year? So many Debbie Downer fans were on here saying "we're going back to rebuilding mode" and "what the heck is Fred thinking?" thought process, even after Kane committed. Glad to say that I knew this was going to be Fred's best year while so many others were doubting the team. This is the EXACT same attitude that you're having right now. Fred finds ways to win and improve. We may not have depth at guard, but if you don't believe in Morris, Thomas, Long, and Custer, you're a lousy fan. Morris has already shown he is going to be a big time guard and is improving dramatically as a freshman by the game. Thomas still looks lost and scared out there, but a full year under his belt should help him gain more confidence and let him settle into his game. Naz is going to get better as well. And for those of you that haven't seen the way Custer plays, he's a monster.
With Nader, Hogue, Niang, and McKay playing the forward, I fully expect them to pick up for the guards at times when they struggle offensively. Next year will be a great team. Also, expect a late signing or a transfer guard with experience if Vaughn doesn't commit to us. Not worried at all about what Hoiball will bring next year.
