Again, I still have to base it all on where we were just 6 months ago. The facts are that we replaced so much. We didn't simply replace 1 or 2 starters, and some depth. It was 4 of the 5, as well as our top 2 bench threats.
It doesn't really matter what you've accomplished the previous 6 years when your turn over that much. I was hopeful that Atin, Brenen, Lattrell, Jasper, Jonathan, & Grant could all come in and contribute at a high level, but to expect all of them to come in and perform as they did, may be asking too much.
We did progress year-over-year from last year to this year, to the tune of 5 more wins (so far)!
Improvement is not always a straight line upward. You're going to have hiccups and slips along the way (like last year). So to be where we are today, knowing everything we've gone through since Tylor hit that dagger in Jelly's face 2 years ago, yes, I'd say we're still making progress.
This year's team should show guys like Brenen (who we need to throw the kitchen sink at in order to keep) that Coach Hodge can go to the portal and grab guys who will immediately gel and win. Prior to this season, that was an unknown.
So is our hope to be where we were 2 years ago or to make progress on a yearly basis? We promoted Hodge to keep the same upward momentum, not to stay stagnant. Had 2023 not happened, my expectations would be different. Were we anytime around the Benford era, my expectations would be different. We've been fairly successful for 8 seasons now. It's time for a breakthrough.
