This is the first year under Marlin that I can honestly say he has brought in good talent. If you have not seen the freshmen play, they have shown that they will be good players for us sooner rather than later. As I mentioned earlier, I think where we have struggled are some of the older guys are just not playing very well. I think the answer is chemistry and you typically play your best basketball as the season goes on.
Its still very demoralizing to lose to chumps like McNeese and even when we aren't playing very well, we should be able to find ways to beat teams like that. Errors can be corrected and roles can be defined. Talent cannot just be produced but guys like Stove and Washington and Wright are talented players and they could have contributed on just about any team from the Evans and Fletcher eras for sure.
