This year to me is the toughest we have had in a while...Since Krut and gang stepped on the court we have had a nice blend of returning players sprinkled with a little seasoning of transfers. This year we have 15 players(great for practice) but what a mix. 3 players with significant time in Norris, Kennedy and Welch, 2 players who saw little time as freshman in St. Thomas and Schweiger the younger who must think it is there time to shine. 1 player looking for some redemption after a little step back in Hutson. 3 Highly regarded 3 star incoming freshman in Quinn, Lewis and Dawson who have been big dogs in high school. 2 incoming walk-ons in Marold and Reese. 4 incoming transfers in Edwards, Golden, Wilson and Ashton. Other than Ashton who is classified as a Junior these guys expect to play. My point is there are a lot of moving parts this year. This is Coach Valentine's 2nd year and there are a lot of moving parts to integrate to get ready for what is arguably our toughest schedule in some time. As the Big Lebowski said, " lots of ins,,lots of outs, lotta what have yous"
