We are talking about realistically winning the MVC tournament this time next season!
-
When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty. -
If the team returns as expected, with no changes in the coaching staff, I predict they will win the MVC next season. -
Let's wait awhile on this post. If Les returns we should be a top four team easily; my expectations would be top two and an NCAA bid.
Without Les we will have a mirror season to this season due to an exodus of players and a new system.Comment

How the he!l do you make a prediction when you don't know 100% who will be coaching the team and who the players will be?!Originally posted by BUFanatic View Post Gimme a break, man! I simply covered both sides. If you don't like it don't read it.

I know, i'm just frustrated with the coaching talk going on everywhere on this board. I will feel much better after the season is over and we know what's going on. If Les leaves, I don't think big players (TB, SM, WE, etc.) will leave with him. If they do, they signed to a school for the wrong reason. I personally hope Les goes, but I should be far away in Norman watching on Channelsurfing by then hahaha. I think the idea of this thread was to predict what it would be based on Les coming back and all players being healthy to take a break from all the animosity of the other threads.Originally posted by Braves4Life View PostHow the he!l do you make a prediction when you don't know 100% who will be coaching the team and who the players will be?!

On a COMPLETELY unrelated note, anyone watching Notre Dame hammer 'Nova?... At the end, of the storm, there's a golden sky. And the sweet silver song of the lark.

There are way to many variables to even make a guess on what will happen next year. Will Les be here, or will there be a new coach? If there is a new coach, who will it be, and what kind of system will he run? What recruits will actually make it to campus? Will Taylor Brown be cleared to play again, and how long will it take him to re-condition if he can come back? Will Sams ankles be able to hold up for the course of the year? What players from this team will even be back next year?This is just the tip of the iceberg...

I don't get the talk of players not coming back. The only ones I could see not coming would be Sammy and the new recruits. It doesn't seem to make sense for others to leave at this point.Originally posted by Braves4Life View Post
I say with Les 4th or 5th
Without Les 4th or 5thComment

TB is a question mark with or without Les. If we lost Sam and the recruits there is NO WAY our team would be top 5. I also feel it is likely that we lose one or two additional players whether Les is the coach or not (we almost always do).Originally posted by lake Camelot View Post
Regardless, BU's best opportunity for a successful season next year is with Les as coach. And, if that happens, only time will tell if Les provides our best opportunity of establishing a consistent and successful program. So far he has not.Comment

How about we break it down by how we will finish in the Valley next year based on personnel expected to return. I realize this carries alot of "what if's" but that's the premise of this thread. Here you go-
#1- We lose our AW and DD but get TB and SM. Thinking optimistically, you might get a bit more with TB and SM, so that takes us from the cellar to 8th.
Add another year of experience for the returnees, bump up another spot or two, again, going optimistically, to 6th.
A few new recruits push us a touch higher to 5th.
That's a middle of the pack finish given a pretty optimistic scenario. I don't see anyway we go higher than 5th. Yet after this year, anything will look better.Comment

I think a Les return means the team should/must finish top 3 and get an NCAA berth. Should be a strong lineup with a decent bench.
Without Les, I think it's armageddon for a couple of years, because I don't really think we'll make the kind of hire that would keep players and recruits here.Comment
