I’ve always looked forward to both those teams seasons, except one, because Hope springs eternal. Only season I really dreaded was MBB’s first BE season and wading into that monster with a walk on pg. 

Prior to last season I was almost at the point of not caring anymore...BG is a basketball god as far as I am concerned.

I don’t think not caring anymore will ever be an option for me ....

Yeah I hear ya.....I guess what I'm saying, is that for me, this is the first time that both teams have an anticipated level of excitement in the same year (at least in a long time).  I realize there are a lot of question marks for Football, but there is also a level of optimism due to some of the changes in the off-season.......and good lord we haven't had anything to be excited about with M basketball since 2012.

I still haven't hopped on the hype train for football.

I'm hopeful that we'll look better on offense but is that enough?

There's a lot of excitement about our activity in the transfer portal for defensive holes but that activity concerns me more than excites me. The success rate on transfers is around 50%.

That's probably about the same as WT's recruits.

We're currently sitting at 25% (4/16) of the 2016 class making it this far. Of those four, one has graduated after coming in from Juco (Frank Johnson), two have been regular starters (Hampton, Wiggs), and one has struggled to find playing time (Dukes).

The 2017 class looks much better at 65% remaining. This class was officially CCS's but WT built most of it.

So you're saying the Juco/transfer route is the way to go.
