And does this change your outlook on how you'd predict them to do in conference.
To be honest, all of the above. What I mean is this was unexpected since there were so many unknowns. We lost Jerk, Okot, Powe, DeShields, Eniya Russel and Nir last season who all contributed heavily and had to replace all of that production. What Purcell did is recruited High School really well and also Internationally. No one knew who Favour Nwaedozi was just like last season no one knew who Madina Okot was and she currently starts at Center for South Carolina.... you gotta tip your hat to Sam, he is recruiting a little differently considering the times we are in and its working... heck he just picked a another International 6'1" player up today who is eligible right now!

My concerns are we haven't had the toughest non conference schedule even though it wasn't terribly bad. We also arent as big in the post this season but our length makes up for that so that doesnt concern me as much. We are a very long team. Overall, from a talent standpoint this is Purcells most talented team, I just hope we continue to click when SEC play begins because this group can be special.
