"I also wouldn't bank on us winning any of our road games"
Holy hell that's a depressing thought.

Call me crazy but I think the graduation of Sherrod could very well be addition by subtraction. SW was a gifted scorer, but thats it. Sherrod didn't make his teammates any better and lord knows he struggled to handle the ball and play defense. His departure will open things up for other guys this season. Who are those other guys? I have no clue but I know I won't miss a 5th year senior dribble the ball of his foot multiple times a game.
...Hewitt needs to play the young guys and see if they have a clue about playing the game the right way.
I really hope this is the case, Jim. Our seniors (Copes, Edwards and Gray) are certainly capable of contributing, but this season needs to be about playing for the future since the present pretty much sucks.
Hopefully I'm wrong, but I anticipate not playing for the future. When ones job is at stake they tend to think more about short term success than long term health. It's the whole gm-head coach argument in the nfl concept.

Perhaps addition by subtraction was a little harsh. SW was a great player for Mason and he will be missed. With that said, I have no problem with your take on Sherrod, or its possible impact on the team. And you are correct that SW at times was our offense last year. My take on possible "team" improvements without Sherrod are my opinion, where as your opinion in the above post comes across as fact. The fact of the matter is that 2 players dominated the ball for us on offense last year, with both of those guys gone it will open up more opportunities for several other players. I don't think we will have 1 or 2 guys dominate the ball next year. IMO I wouldn't be surprised to see better ball movement and better flow with less ball watching from the other 3 guys on the court. Also, wether or not a player graduates, transfers, or red-shirts the point remains the same....he is gone, thus the dynamic of the team with change. Like I said call me crazy.....
First, I was a big fan of Wright and Allen and yes we'll miss their scoring. However, with the departure of our seniors (including Williams), we are also "losing" around 45% of our turnovers and 38% of our personal fouls from last year...if I remember correctly.
Dont flatter yourself lol...
You sure beat the dead horse and your "comedic" bits into the ground with no shame.
Please, just leave me and my family alone. I dont want to end up like poor ACW, but this message board...it's all I have.
