Prediction that HC will finish #2 in PL men's BB this coming season. I think the sterling freshman of last season need another year of seasoning and playing as a team under Ralph before HC regains domination of the PL. I expect great things from Torey Thomas and Keith Simmons and think they'll eventually be a strong offensive duo. Two seasons from now, KHam will be a senior and the offense we couldn't generate this past season will be a thing of the past. Nate will need help inside, help that we all hoped he would get from Neil last season but did not for a number of reasons.

Hurley and Kinsey should come off the bench, not start. Neither should be in the game at the end if close and foul shots become the deciding factor.

This season, I'd start Torey, KHam, Keith, Joe Young and Nate. I see Josh coming in to spot Joe or Keith. Hopefully, our incoming big man will develop quickly. And I've got my fingers crossed that with the loss (or gain?) of Neil's schollie that it can be put to good use with some bone-bender frontcourt man.

But, please Lord, show our team how to put a foul shot through the hoop!

In Kevin's first year, I thought that Ralph didn't give him enough playing time. With Nate/Neil injured in the beginning of last season, Kevin got playing time and he looked good at first. As the season progressed, I didn't see the development I would have expected and he got himself in foul trouble a lot. He initially struck me as a smaller Pat Whearty (a "pocket battleship" to Patrick's "carrier"). Maybe Kevin will hit his stride this year but he seems a little too slow, a little too short and not quite bulky enough to make the impact I thought he might. He'd have to make up for it in court savvy as Josh seems to show.

Like others on the team, he seems to be a very nice young man and my hope is that he'll prove me totally wrong and have a breakout year this coming season. After all, I didn't give a lot of respect to KHam his freshman year but he was a shining star last season.
