We are having a terrible season, but we have some good young players. I understand why there is optimism for the future. What I struggle with is why many people on this board think that we will make the incredible leap forward and the rest of the BIG will remain static. Don't you think Minnesota and Ohio State will get better as well?
Michigan State is the only team in the conference (maybe Indiana) who regularly gets 1 and dones. Everyone else has players that stay for a while and get better. We are the worst team in the BIG. Are we really going to make the astronomical leap to a tourney team next year? Has Collins really shown so much as a coach that we think this core will develop faster than the Gophers sophomores?
Everything is relative. But at the end of the day we are all fans so I guess maybe it's just more fun to say "wait till next year."
