This team is going to be way different than last year. I don’t think we are going to be cellar dwellers anymore. A lot more size and skill from what I can tell.

I like where the team is at right now, but the thing that scares me is where are we on the defensive end of the floor? As a team, they have to play lock down defense, and use the defense to generate offense with baskets in transition and easy lay ups. But it all starts with defense.

If we believe Rags and what he said in the interview, our defense will be much better this year. Mainly because of our "size/length" that will reduce the number of mismatches on defensive switches.

Rags also said they recruit offense and teach defense. He said the freshmen are still having freshmen moments and when asked which new player has surprised him the most this summer his answer was Josh Hughes.

I think that is what disappointed me most about last season. We heard a lot of off-season talk about playing defense and fast in transition, and we rarely saw that from the team last season. Hopefully we will be much improved in that now that Rags has his own roster.

The team this year is primarily “his guys” - so hopefully we will see an improvement in these areas.
