Phoenix, I noticed the personality quotes.  Not sure how that translates into wins, but makes for a better locker room. That has to be better than a team with malcontents, trouble makers, and handing out repeat suspensions.  

I am tired also of hearing the "poor Jimmy" routine.  But it does not matter at this point.  It is his 5th year and it is time to win, a bottom level finish in the A10 is unacceptable.

No mention of Gill who would be senior after a solid junior year.   He would be starter this year.
Nice words about the freshmen but will Ferry play them?
True Jones got hurt and Mason turned his ankle.  But no mention about Castro who might have been a worthy backup to both players.

Did you watch Castro last year? He was awful. He more than earned his spot on the bench. You can't keep playing guys who don't produce. That said, I'm hoping we see the Castro that we saw this summer when the season begins.

That's also a function of coaching, no?

To a degree, but you can't turn Eric Evans into Norm Nixon, no matter how good the coaching. Castro did nothing at Butler, and he's done nothing here. He just may not have it. He wouldn't be the first player not to live up to expectations. It's put up or shut up for him as well now. I hope he surprises us, as an effective Castro will go a long way towards us having a breakthrough season.
