we should be better this year with more experience from Haws/Bryant/Childs, the return of a true pure shooter in Seljaas, a change in coaching philosophy/dynamics/experience from Schroyer, and an overall skill balance more suited towards Rose's philosophy and strengths. We may have been even better with Mika, and may have been better with Emery, but despite their losses we can have a better season due to the aforementioned reasons.
