Biko needs to come off the bench instead of start, Elmore needs more PT, and Ravenel needs PT ahead of Southern and Dunn. The argument could be made that Jackson will flourish in a less constrained offense. The argument could be made that this is a senior laden team and this is their last shot.
I fully expect this team to dance next March.
You're not making an argument for a team being preseason Top 25, though. You're making an argument for a team that based on history and "most likely outcomes" people won't expect to be good, but dig deeper and you can see a scenario where they overachieve (relative to outside person's expectations).
I mean, we're closer to the program so naturally we're gonna be more bullish, but I really don't think you can get on anyone for not thinking highly of this team heading into next season. And its not like we were consensus Preseason Top 25...Katz was going way out on a limb with that one (relative to his brethren in the national media).
