Yeah, that's what I thought.

6th: Delaware
What Matters:
Rest. Jawan Carter played a ridiculous number of minutes last year, and perhaps you’ve forgotten Brian Johnson did the same for three years before his injury. The Hens have also been thin up front and Monte Ross has had no choice. There are too many two-possession games with three minutes to go in the CAA to have your best players gassed.

It’s Good If:
Fonzie Dawson plays up to his sophomore season, not down to his junior season; the frontline four (Brinkley, McCullar, McNeil, Hagins) all improve and one becomes a reliable force; Johnson is the point guard we all remember.

It’s Not Good If:
Johnson is a shell of himself; Dawson doesn’t figure it out; McNeil cannot stay on the court; the Hens get off to a slow start and a feeling of “not again” grips the locker room.

Look Out For:
Devon Saddler. I cannot find anyone who will say anything mediocre about this kid, much less bad. Plus, he has a college body—weight room and conditioning time isn’t spent catching up, it’s spent getting better. That’s Frosh of the Year material.

One Stat:
Jawan Carter had a 26-game stretch where he averaged 39.9 mpg.

Monte Ross:
“We’re seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. We were poised to do that last year but then injuries hit us. This is the year we have to make that jump. This is the year that points everything in the right direction.”

In Summary:
Sometimes I think defensive numbers are skewed for losing teams. It isn’t that they cannot play defense. Rather, if you’re on a 5-21 team and given the choice to get into a proper stance and defend or go shoot a three, what do you choose? The Hens will improve on defense and move up the standings

Hope? From hoopscooponline, via GoHens:

The only new commitment that we ran across all day was provided to us by Antonio Curro of NY2LA Sports, who is reporting that 6'5 Larry Savage from Arlington (Bishop O'Connell) VA has picked the University of Delaware. And we think this is an excellent catch for a number reasons. First, Savage is an athletic power forward who does most of his damage inside right now, but has the potential to project down the road as a wing forward. Second, Savage is good enough to be ranked in the 200-250 range nationally and he plays with a chip on his shoulder, which makes him the stereotypical type of guy that a lot of schools have been successful with in the Colonial Athletic Association. Third, Savage plays for Joey Wootten in one of the premier high school programs in the nation in the tough WCAC (Washington Catholic Athletic Conference). Fourth, Savage joins 6'1 Jarvis Threatt from Highland Springs (H.S.) VA, 6'3 Khalid Lewis-El from Hamilton (Trenton (Catholic) NJ, and 6'7 Marvin King-Davis from Richmond (Meadowcreek) VA in a recruiting class that is now ranked #22 on our list of the Top Recruiting Classes To-Date for the Class of 2011. However, even more important, the Blue Hens clearly have the best recruiting class in the league and every one of these players is good enough to step in and make an immediate impact

Delaware? We're talking about Delaware? The Blue Hens?

I wish Delaware would bring back wrestling. I haven't been able to watch the BB team since Spencer Dunkley graduated.
