Joe,

I think your key comment above is:

"The Good news is that with experience, these young guards will only get better offensively."

History has not necessarily shown that to be true. Garcia and Goode have improved significantly from last year. But have Thomson, Gai, Sogadzi, Delfico, Fellecia? I'm not so sure.

If they do improve, I agree that this team should be in good shape (pending they develop an inside presence after Garcia leaves). But if they 'stagnate', it will be difficult to ever get beyond a 17 win threshhold.

Yes, we need our guards to improve, and you are right, we have not seen that too much. Our Forwards and Centers improve...... but not guards. I would attributre that more to the work ethic of some of our former guards. I think our current crop is much different.

I don't think we have seen the "real" Terrance Todd yet. I hope he goes from Frosh to Soph during the MAAC Tourney.

And out of the Kudjo, Bell, Van Schaick trio, I am hoping we end up with one of those three capapble of getting 15ppg a night.

IMO, the Todd-Max-Gai combo make our future very bright, they all will be special players..... but they are only frosh's and sophs

I believe that this is the year that F.U. must somehow get itself to a postseason tourney. Presently it enjoys its best opportunity. As I look to next year I see a season where many MAAC teams will be stronger and it will be more difficult. Consider that Iona loses only Maceo Wofford and welcomes two Syracuse transfers, Manhattan loses one starter, Jarrett Johnson, and adds a highly regarded transfer, Siena loses one starter and Niagara returns all starters. Moreover Canisius had two important players out with injuries this year and they will return.
We, in contrast, lose three important guys and hope to replace their contributions with those of two untested freshmen who may be no better than bench players. The Stags better get it done this year because they might be fighting for their collective lives next year!!!

Why are Fairfield fans always worrying about the future?

How many threads deal with h.s. recruits, who you are losing, building attendance in the years to come and who the other teams have coming back?

Enjoy the success of this year's team!! Remember those immortal words, "tomorrow never comes!"
