for me, to sum it up at this point-
all i can do is wait and hope CJ hits two homeruns with the final scholarships for a regular chance to succeed. however, in the face of NIL, i have no clue how significant the 13 scholarships are (except MU right now it seems).
not sure how i feel about Toussaint returning, if true, only because it looks like we might need another big forward (for basic D and as a foul trouble sub) if we can't get any better from the portal- although scorers/guards are a priority.
i've come to grudgingly accept the reality that the schedule may not ever be near as good as we'd like, with few exceptions and rarely, a really good one at home. the norm OOC opponents who are close by, 2 or 3 paydays, 2 or 3 usually good mid majors and a few nobodies who just might embarrass us.
i always expect (with few exceptions) returning players to come off summer better than before. DD (and HIS players) had a less than avg to avg record here which is not acceptable to me. to the point, i want especially to see the seniors and Fricks show us something worthwhile. i expect the newcomers (all players) to, at the least, have fire in their bellies (like Nutter) at all times.
