Next year

[Kevin Reilly]

Time to peek ahead to next year. I know we are not finished recruiting yet but I would guess we are close to 75% thru our N.I.L. money. I think we need at least two more guards who can defend ( Pitino likes to press ) one of who has a good handle so we can deal with a full court press. We also could use a athletic wing to keep Muskieman and Anti-Homer happy. I would be very surprised if we had enough N.I.L. left to bring in another starter but we will see. I think Pozatto, Wright, Robinson and Anderson will start and either Millicevic ( defense ) or Carroll ( offense ) will round out the starting five. This without barely seeing any of them play.

We might see hockey-style line changes at times next year. Starters might change per the opponent's style. I would have liked to see a lockdown defender like Tru Washington, but he got away.

I think fans will have a great time postulating who plays and how the starters will be configured. My hope, and so far, I see, is that there will not be a step down when going to the bench. I hope for one more point, Forward and Big guy at the 4 or 5.

So far, Christopher looks like he hit a home run and has his guy in place.
