I agree with a lot of what you have said that these are definite possibilities.

Some things to remember.

This team is still very very young.

In 2014-2015 season, we had five capable, multi year experienced guards in:
Tyler Haws
KC
Skyler halford
Chase Fischer
Anson Winder

Not bad for a rotation. But tough to compare that to what we have now. There's potential, but a top 10 offense may be a stretch. If we could be top 30 offense, top 50 in defense that would be fantastic.

I don't care about Conference standings first. I want to be top 25. And that takes winning tougher games early and not dropping bad games to poor opponents late.
