billikenfan05 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 43 minutes ago, TheChosenOne said: Yeah, I am really excited about adding Avila, but it does seem like adding him and Swope from their starting 5 was the minimum expectation. A lot of the connected folks on here were implying we’d be getting all of them. Ultimately I am pumped with the hire and Avila, so who cares, but what you point out is true. Now let’s see how Schertz builds out the rest of the roster. We're dealing with 18-21 year olds making decisions in the presence of yearly dollar signs that I don't know if I'll end up reach in my life. Things change on a dime.

TheA_Bomb Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 1 hour ago, 3star_recruit said: I think the addition of two rather than four returning starters extends the honeymoon period for Coach Schertz. Four returning starters plus Jimerson is a preseason top 25 team because of all the known factors. Expectations by local and national media would be through the roof. Two returning starters starters plus Jimerson plus a couple of solid pieces from the portal is a team that will be projected as top four in the A10 by the preseason outlets. Two very different situations. Good point. I was thinking this is a NCAA team with 4 ISU starters and Jimmerson. Now I don't know yet. Going to depend on the quality of the transfers. Even then will they have chemistry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRN Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 People thought that 3 were likely. Kent visited Texas and went there. It’s free agency, that’s how things work. We got the prize of the 5, and a very solid guard. Time to move on and see who else comes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately we got the prize and a tremendous coach, so I fully expect him to still build a high level roster without those 3.

Westy03 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Tournament or bust should be the expectation every single year. Anything less and we are settling. TRN and Adman like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
