I believe we are going to be a pretty good team. Love the upgrades all the way round! Not sure I'd go so far as to say "pretty good," but we're definitely trending upward. I can’t recall the last time—not going back to the 80s—that I have seen such impactful recruits right out of the shoot. I don’t understand the reluctance to say we are going to be “pretty good”?

Our roster has certainly filled out. It's got a few positional holes. It's also made up of a lot of former 4 star recruits who didn't necessarily perform in college to that level yet. So there may be more than just the clearly visible holes. But there's raw talent there in many cases. We're thin in ballhandling and in bigs, but we do seem to have athletic guys on the whole who want to defend and a decent bit of shooting. With some proper coaching, there's a decent team there. I agree with the assessment. And, I do believe we have the “proper coaching.” Let the games begin!

My expectations are to simply be competitive in the Big East this season. That means winning a few games (5 or more probably) and looking like a real basketball team. Given the amount we're investing in this program, both in the head coach and (seemingly) in NIL, in 2024 I expect to make a serious push for the NCAA tournament.

Very happy with where we are and the job the new staff has done so far. Don't know where we will finish in the BE this year but the dread I felt in prior years has been replaced by excitement and anticipation.

NIT is a realistic hope. Not likely, but possible.

I would be ecstatic with a winning record and making the tournament. Like I said, I would be over the moon!

No impact recruits since the 80’s?

I think it'll take a couple good recruiting classes and a lot of development before we'll be "pretty good." The transfers we got are decent as a whole, but I'm not expecting a whole lot next year. We're definitely headed in the right direction though.

No impact recruits since the 80’s? No, no, I didn’t mean it like that. Just meant that I was not talking about the 80s! Of course we have had many: Porter Green Munroe Etc.!

I'm very much reading into it but 2 visits in 1 month, might see a commitment here this weekend from Caleb Williams.

We'll see in November. At least we'll be competitive.

Cooley believes that all three transfers we got will be impact players. Bump...re: expectations for next season.
