The schedule looks pretty weak, but either way this years team will be much more fun to watch. More athletic than last years team. They are quick at every position and have decent size with the gaurds all being 6'2 to 6'3 except for Mcdaniel. Look for them to play more of an uptempo style and get after you on defense.
After watching a few summer games, Mcdaniel may not be ready to carry them as was mentioned ( he will play a vital role though), but they have 7 or 8 guys that can score so teams will not be able to key on 1 or 2 players. Wagers and Lyttle looked really good on the interior even when facing larger competition . They should compete for the region with Harlan County probably being the favorite to start the season.
