: Why is this roster a "project". That is absurd. We have Romello White the #40 recruit in the country 4 years ago with two years of experience. We have Remy Martin a 4-star top 100 recruit with two years experience. We have a 5th year senior in Rob Edwards that averaged 17 ppg two years ago at Cleveland State. We have Kimani Lawrence, a top 100 recruit from 3 years ago. We have Tashon Cherry the #38 recruit in the country from last year. We have Elias Valtonen a top 100 recruit from last year. And in addition to that we have 2 of the top 5 JC recruits in Alonzo Verge and Khalid Thomas.
: I guess I am beginning to realize why I am so much harder on Hurley than most. The rest must not be aware of how much talent we have on this team both this year and last.
: : Devils throttle a solid, talented SEC team to go 8-2. Solid contributions from several, not just Remy & Romelo. Surprised no comments thus far on their performance.
: : ASU just a couple breaks from being 10-0 & ranked. However, I can do w/o the hype of the past couple of years. This years roster is a project after losing some serious talent, yet Hurley seems to know what it needs and each game some improvement is being seen, even w a tough road schedule completed. Hopefully will serve them well with a super tough start of their conference schedule
: : GO DEVILS!
I think it all boils down to the fact that Romello and the guards are playing well. All the other forwards are not. They need to step up now. The top 100 6'8 guys and the JC transfer need to get it done. That is it.
