Hey I'm not here to say the bucks are number one in basketball or even that they will win the final four this year, because that would just be lieing. But I am hear to say that this years buckeyes will be 10 times better than last year and will, I personally do believe this, give a major run for winning the big ten in regular season play. I also would expect to see them in the tourney this year and hopefully second round depending on seedings and all that fun stuff. Reasons for why I think this:
(1) Transfers are eligible: Tony Stockman the PG from Clemson led the ACC in most points scored as a sophmore. J.J. Sullinger, G, top prospect from Ohio who went to Arkansas and now is coming back.
(2) Returning players: Terrance Dials the big PF for the Bucks is back from his back injury. Rick Billings, G, is now academically eligible. Was one of the top G's his senior year at high school in the country.
(3) Improved players: Matt Sylvester, F, Shun Jenkins, F, Velimir Radinovic, C, all have had 1-2 years of experience now and should add some veterancy to the bucks.
(4) Recruited players: Most noteable of course, Ivan Harris, F, a top rated forward who made the McDonalds All-America team.
(5) Finally a huge help for the Bucks this year will be depth. One thing the Bucks have never really had for a while and this year and the next we'll have alot of talented ball players to come off the bench like: Brandon Fuss-Cheatham, Emonte Jernigan, Matt Marinchick, and of course some of the names listed above.
--Noteable Mentioning-- Our scout team, backups for last year and players who couldn't play last year because of transfering and academics beat our starting team by about 40 points every time.
Again I am not saying we will be dominant and that we're the best rather that we will be an upset team to watch out for. Maybe I'm wrong and maybe I'm right. So who here agrees/disagrees with me? |
