I think the team has more talent. Does that necessary mean more success? No. Do they have more potential? Indeed they do. I predicted at 6-9 NCAA seed, Not a 3.
Compare the following:
Hartsock vs. Nielsen- Nielsen has more size, more offensive skills, and is way ahead of Noah as a freshman.
Davies vs. Kaufusi- Corbin is bigger, more athletic and longer. His skills are not great but he is only a freshman.
Ayates Vs. Abouo- Ayates is going to be a stud, he is bigger than Charles and just as athletic. He plays a 3-4, not a 2-3.
These guys will probably take a year or two as 2 of them are just returning from missions.
