Diebler sure has the personnel and depth to play uptempo. Maybe we'll finally get to see it.

I would say it is the deepest team they've had in a long time. The 2012 team that made the Final Four was tough, I'm skeptical that these guys will be on that level. The only question-marks are physicality and efficiency. The past great teams they had, there was always at least one guy who performed at a professional level & while they have elite talent, they need these 5-stars to come in and live up to the hype.

We are pretty set at the guards. The thing that's going to determine how good they can be is the bigs staying healthy and performing at a good enough level.

Bynum taking a decently big step forward would be massive.

Josh O has to stay healthy and perform good enough.

If I'm hearing things correctly, the Buckeyes will have two 5*s suiting up this year? Kinda confused, as reclassifying means a 17 year old kid is now going to play with the big boys. And the B10 is FOR the big boys. Still, this should improve the talent quotient a big, and 5*s attract other 5*s. Sounds like a very good base anyway. Here's hopin'.....

Well shit someone is finally figuring it out?

It's not AAU ball where you just throw the 5 best out there and automatically win. It takes a total team effort for 40 minutes. We just might see a team this year as long as people stay healthy.
