We're going to play uptempo next year. We're going to win post season games next year. We're going to see an uptick in recruiting next year. We're going to be a force next year! If only next year ever came....

No argument from me on this stuff. It just seems like we always look at the future on paper and assume it'll be way better. That's been happening for a long time. I even remember back in the day before I ever posted on this site that people were thinking Final 4 the year Cashmere Wright came back from his injury. The unknown always sounds so good. The "in 2 years we'll be loaded" topic is very common for UC fans these days. Much easier to take bc it can't be proven wrong. I worry we're doing that again when discussing the supporting cast around Evans (assuming we see the highest ceiling for Evans).

So what do you suggest we do about it? We're just fans. We can't go out there and recruit for the school. We can't make them any better. Do I think this year's squad has a decent shot at the sweet sixteen, or even elite eight? Yes, I do. I see a ton of talent from the top 6 or so. Is that my final prediction? Nope. I'd predict an 8 seed and a first round loss. It's a safe bet. You're allowed to see potential in things, though. I sure hope the Bengals can win a playoff game this year, and certainly think they're capable of that, but my legitimate guess is 11-5 with another 1st round loss. Again, it's a safe bet. But, I know they're capable of more. It's my motivation to watch my teams day in and day out. It's not like anyone here lives in a fairytale would where we're predicting all kinds of irrational guesses.
 
What I would like to see out of Jacob is improve his overall game. He displayed proficiency in his overall game. he just needs to keep building on a very solid base. I don't see a lot of weaknesses in his game. I expect a very nice season from him.

Crazy that SK basically had to redshirt bc of Stephenson. And after 5 years in college and almost 2 years in the D-League, SK has a guaranteed contract in the NBA, and Stephenson is still unsigned (sounds like he's going to the Knicks for the veteran minimum though).
 
"On campus at #UC for the first time in a long time. Nothing like it!"

Speaking of SK, ^ was what he tweeted this afternoon. Hopefully he works with the team.
