were very good. Had length, size, shooters and they defended. Shoulda beat UF in the tourney. Hopefully Hoyas are getting back to that type of team.

As much as hoyas had good brandon/bad brandon, he was long, athletic and a matchup nightmare. A headache, but skilled. Otto can be better.

I miss DJ. That shot against FL looked good when it left his hands.

Ugh... that Florida game. It's like the girl that got away. Agree that 2007 was better. As far as comparisons go, I'm gonna have to wait and see. But those were two really solid teams. It seems pretty unfair to compare this team to those without a single regular season game in the books. That said, I'm really excited to watch this iteration of Hoyas get after it and I think they'll do exactly that. I don't expect to see all of the posts about not caring or not trying or not giving the effort required to win this year. That's pretty much all I care about this year. Hoyas playing hard. I want commentators to be surprised at how hard we go after loose balls each and every game.

The 2006 team seems to be the model for when we go small (ie play Otto at PF), since Roy really only averaged 24 mpg that year. If Otto can play defense like Bowman did, it'll be really helpful considering how many question marks we have at center

Was realy thinkin about Otto in comparison to BB. Similar build, length and athleticism and skill. Now a 5 is needed. The wildcard is GW. Hoyas haven't had a players with his combo of size and stroke and handle ever. If he plays alot at the two, he'll be deadly.

If freshman Otto is as good as senior Bowman, we'll really have something to be excited about.

I envy those who have seen our team play. Can't Wait for the season to start! So exciting having these highly talented young kids, and watching to see if Markel really IS ready to live up to expectations. Is it February yet?!?!?! ;D ;D  |
