Will BU Gain Ground In 2012-13? (Vs just improving their abilities)

[SFP]

we heard this news every year about Anthony Thompson, didn't we ?

I do not believe we ever really heard it about AT but were always hoping. What we heard was that he was not very dedicated during the off season. Why even go there on this thread? We complain about Wessler and his negativity of the past?

I too have heard that Shayok is north of 215 after playing in the low 190s last season. I also feel like we'll see him much more comfortable playing the 4 than he was at the 3.

S.S putting on weight and muscle is good but he needs to get tougher something A.T. really never did, hard work during the summer should translate into a much improved S.S; no reason why he cannot be a decent scorer inside next season and with his ability be a very good rebounder if he wants it bad enough.

I didn't necessarily feel that Shayok lacked toughness last year, rather he was forced to play out of position on the wing. With Taylor Brown gone, I think we'll see a big leap forward by Shayok. He'll likely be more athletic than the typical power forward.

I am not really certain that Shayk was playing out of position. I think that Shayok is a very raw talent that needs to be developed by the staff.
