On the surface, I was a little bit dissapointed in the fact that we got Black in lieu of the more "popular" target which was Randall. However, after doing some research and reading all the things everybody has posted, I am actually quite satisfied with this committment. Black sounds like academics are a huge priority with him, meaning he should be at this university for four years. On top that, all reports indicate he is nothing short of a true PG, which is something this team has been lacking since I have been at this University. I am very excited for the tools this young man will bring to the court next season!
Just a tad bit off topic, but I think next season's squad has the potential to really compete for an AE title. Harris and Ambrose are bonafide studs, and should only continue to grow with another season under their belts. Add in the health of Logan and Barrazza, and you now have the perimeter shooting this team was lacking at points during the season. Considering all that, plus the very nice incoming freshman class and the continued development of Gifford's offensive game, I think we can really surprise some people next year...thoughts anyone?
