I love everything that's going on with MU.  If this leadership team stays in place MU can transform into a university that will have to turn students away.  The forward thinking by President Smith is what was needed.

I appreciate President Smith for coming to MU and giving back to the Tri State area.

You always have to have talent.

Talented players if stick around long enough have their shining wow time. Talent & work ethic together is unstoppable except for injury and lousy cosching.

Toussant is not returning.     

Sometimes it isn't who you have, its more about how you use them.  I think Corny will surprise us all, maybe not year one, but we'll be having fun in the CAM again soon, IMHO.

You always have to have talent.

for me, to sum it up at this point-

all i can do is wait and hope CJ hits two homeruns with the final scholarships for a regular chance to succeed.  however, in the face of NIL, i have no clue how significant the 13 scholarships are (except MU right now it seems).

not sure how i feel about Toussaint returning, if true, only because it looks like we might need another big forward (for basic D and as a foul trouble sub) if we can't get any better from the portal- although scorers/guards are a priority.

i've come to grudgingly accept the reality that the schedule may not ever be near as good as we'd like, with few exceptions and rarely, a really good one at home.  the norm OOC opponents who are close by, 2 or 3 paydays, 2 or 3 usually good mid majors and a few nobodies who just might embarrass us.

i always expect (with few exceptions) returning players to come off summer better than before.  DD (and HIS players) had a less than avg to avg record here which is not acceptable to me.  to the point, i want especially to see the seniors and Fricks show us something worthwhile.  i expect the newcomers (all players) to, at the least, have fire in their bellies (like Nutter) at all times.
