I wish I could blame this on Danny Collins.
It’s way too early to make that statement. This team could absolutely be worse than year 1 and 2 of Ben Johnson.This team is not as bad as Ben's year 1 or year 2. It's not particularly close. And it might be better than year 4 too.
I’m not yearning for the long-ago days of Ben Johnson but his first team started 11-1 with road wins at Pitt; Mississippi State & Michigan.It’s way too early to make that statement. This team could absolutely be worse than year 1 and 2 of Ben Johnson.
Year 1, Payton Willis and EJ Stephen’s were better than any guard on our team currently and Jamison Battle is a pretty similar player to Tyson. Even Sutherland and Loewe would contribute on this year’s team.
Year 2, Guard play was awful, but Cooper would be our starting pg on this year’s team. Dawson Garcia, Jamison Battle, and Pharrell Payne were a significantly better front court than this team, and all had multiple years of eligibility left. You also had some promising minutes from JOJ and Carrington as part of a strong freshman class. This year has nothing like that core of potential returning players.
Might be held in the 30's......Who's excited to see this team score in the 40s come Big Ten play?
