A little extra excitement for me this year for Nova, my little cousin is a frosh and has been sending text about seeing Jay and the players on campus. It has gotten me pumped for the season more than ever, a couple thoughts as recruiting is ramping up with decisions and the schedule coming out:
I love our schedule, think it is awesome, Jay things we can get the Philly regional and I think so too. Love challenging ourselves UVA on the road, Oklahoma in Hawaii, think some of the teams in Brooklyn will surprise. I just overall really like how challenging it is. Easy for us NYers, NJers and CTers to come down and catch a weekend game at Wachovia too. Place will be rocking this year for sure. Nothing like a Saturday Wachovia game.
Recruiting wise, we have come to a tough intersection for 2016. We have two very good guards in Booth and Brunson, we have Donte who is the kind of kid who is going to earn minutes with his hard work and skill set too. To be honest I think there is a spot here for a guard BUT that guard is going to have to be willing to not play a heck of alot of minutes, my personal opinion is we wait for 2017, where it seems we are going after some top flight guards. It make sense to me as Hart will be gone and maybe Brunson so there is room.
I admire how hard Jay and his staff are going after some guys, it is tough to sell forwards who want to play right away when you have Spellman, Jenkins, Hart, Paschall, Bridges, Delaney at the 3,4,5 next year. There just arent that many minutes, Hunter would have been icing on the cake and to be honest in the long run Painter may be the better option (improve over 2 years, more insurance if Spellman leaves) and we can still go after top guys in 2017.
My main question is just how teams are going to guards us? Booth and Brunson are about as good dribble drive players we have had since Randy, Kyle. we have surrounded them with size that can shoot. If we stay healthy this team is just so dangerous.
Personally I am excited, we are going to have another 2 years of a tourney caliber team. Our last two years we have had some great teams and great players, these teams will have more talent in my opinion, now if they can execute like prior year teams and play the hard nosed defense we are accustomed too good things are going to happen.
Enjoy football season, personally after watching the Giants, I am already on to college basketball.
