I must ask....for those of you who went to at least a handful of games this summer is this the best showing of an incoming freshman class (and maybe its not fair to include Nikita in this group since he was an incoming frosh last summer too) since '04 when you had Jeff, Roy, Jon, Tyler and Cornelia (sp?) Guibunda? Or maybe I should ask is this the most impressed you've been with a freshman crop of Hoya players, based upon their Kenner League play only, since the summer of 2004?

I would say yes.
In 2005, I wasn't particularly impressed with the Sapp, Egerson, Thornton, Spann class.
In 2006 DaJuan looked good, but Rivers was meh and Macklin was a disappointment from the start.
Last year Austin looked real good, Chris good, Nikita OK, Omar . . . not so good.
I'd say Monroe was the most impressive guy I saw since Green, but I can't really remember well enough to say who was better. I'd say Clark definitely looked better than Sapp or Wallace, probably about as good as Wright. Sims looked better than Macklin, but his play was up and down.

I remember when I was a junior and the Green/Hibbert/Wallace group were freshmen, and those guys adjusted quickly to what otherwise might have been a challenging environment. They were well ahead of their peers in those regards and were not intimidated on campus and, as a result, were able to compete ahead of their abilities. They saw what needed to be done and did it. That will be the true test of this incoming class. Do they adjust quickly? Do they have the will that Green/Hibbert/Wallace did? So far, they have passed the tests of KL, but there are more ahead. |

Also I should point out that while there will be three TRUE freshman joining the team for this season, the truth is that in some ways the Hoyas will have a total of six new players . Chris barely played for the Hoyas last season once conference games got underway, Nikita didn't play at all and of course Julian was on another team. That does mean that most of the team will have to do some growing up quick but at the same time I don't think any fan of other BE teams nor anyone in the media other than possibly Barker has a true understanding of how different and dangerous this upcoming Hoya squad will/could be.
