The season is over, what's next? If Andrey Semenov is not granted a sixth year of eligibility, walk-on stud muffin Christian Pierce will be the only senior on the team. They will have two juniors, four sophomores, a redshirt freshman, and whatever freshmen sign with the school. While it's hard to put it into perspective just hours after being eliminated, it's easy to see how dangerous this team will be in the future.
Andre Nation fouled out of the game well into the second half and walked to the bench very dejected. He was looking as if the loss would be on him. On the bench, Nation put his head in his jersey and mourned the end of a great season. These are all good signs. They're signs of a leader and Nation will be the leader and face of this team from now on. By his side, his partner and great friend Charles Cooke (Aka Cookie) will share the leadership role. Ron Curry will try to fill Devon Moore's shoes and Dimijitre Cabarkba will continue to learn why America is so awesome, but will do so on the court as he will begin his playing career next season. Brady has alluded to the possibility that he has a very solid shot, maybe comparable to Semenov's. Friday's loss is is a sneak preview into what next season will look like and I'm here to say they will be just fine.
So long from Dayton>
