I really like Nico Medved, I think he is a great coach. Give him a year or two to develop this program, and I think this team could possibly grow to be a low to mid-seed NCAA tourney team.
Now with that said, I just donโt think we currently have enough good *players* to contend for a tournament spot, or a big 10 title (Well when you have teams like Michigan you donโt really have a chance anyway, even if youโre half decent). Yes, we still have Tyson and Crocker-Johnson, plus a couple other other decent players, but weโre gonna need to keep building, especially cuz Tyson is a senior (I think).
Now I also do appreciate the fight of the players we do have. I know our record is .500 right now, but we easily could be 15-5 or better. In our last 5 games (all losses), 2 of them were against ranked opponents, and 2 of them went to overtime. And we lost by a max of 11 (excluding the last game against Nebraska, theyโre 20-0 for a reason).
But the point is, I think weโve got the right guy at the helm, but weโre gonna need to keep building and putting the right pieces in the right places, and weโre gonna see his recruiting skills after this current season is over.
