...we did last year starting out with no Yoeli, Haws just off of knee surgery, Seljaas just off of foot surgery, no Baxter, Lee working to establish himself, Nixon rebounding from a poor junior year, getting Jake Toolson to adjust his game to fit in the flow of our offense (he had a tendency to hold the ball and want to go iso a little too much early on), etc. They did remarkably well working through all of that to open the season.

We have quite a few hungry guys who are eager, really eager, to prove themselves this coming season. Harward, Lowell, Wade, Baxter, Haarms, etc. With Pope and staff leading the way they'll figure it out quickly.
