I feel like its been an eternity since we had a multiple 4 year seniors in the same year. I'm guessing it was the Frank Haith #2 Seed squad. (OK, I looked and I'm correct. Someone will try and get me on a technicality with VanLeer/Puryear but since VL didn't play his Senior year, I'm not counting it.)
NCAA basketball is at its best when we get to follow players for many years. How much fun was watching Geist go from a JUCO after thought to an all conference level player in just three years? Or watching Kimmie FINALLY figure it out as a Senior. Or the steady improvement of Denmon into an All American. On the flip side, the hate of Kirk Heinrich and Hollis Price seemingly having 8 year careers at their schools. I'm really trying to think of a 4 year player from an opponent that I have noticed recently.
I really want MS and JT do blow it out this year. I've enjoyed MS's slow but steady emergence and still hold out hope that JT can live up to that Top 50 ranking. And I do appreciate JT and him being with the program all these years. A marginal big man is better than no big man IMO.
Just wanted to get this in before JT fouls out and we all turn on him, again.
*Yes, I'm aware that MS is a 5th year guy.
