Just stating the facts. Didn't a few coaches say Bryant Dunston would be NBA material if he continued to improve? That's only 3 less future NBA'ers than UNC! All I am trying to say is that you don't need senior leadership to be a winner, I think it's a crock. It takes talent and desire as well as familiarity within a system. I think that our team showed a lot of heart and a few of the guys showed that they were winners (Stout's three against URI). I don't think a lack of seniors will hurt or alternatively help us between this year and next year. Also consider the amount of playing time our freshmen got this year. They won't need as much time to mature considering the experience they have from this year. -- Fordham Rams Basketball Message Board

Virtually all college coaches will tell you that senior leadership, generally speaking, is crucial to success(particularly in post-season play). There are exceptions to everything - in our case the freshman were able to gain unusual experience and I'm sure will mature faster than usual as players, but from watching college hoops since I was a kid, I believe the principle generally applies.
