Returning from injury last year he put up 11 ppg in BSC play. That ranks 21st overall (tied with EWU's Cliff Ederaine) and third among sophomores. With him and Eberhard on the wings and Veteto and Dickson inside this is not a team that can be overlooked. Katz might finally have a true starting five!Bryan Metcalfhttp://sacstatesports.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489976410121533313.post-2227130795201976222012-08-24T13:13:35.276-06:002012-08-24T13:13:35.276-06:00Ha!

I am...Ha! Not sure I have the jinxing powers... :)<br /><br />I am optimistic about the Hornets... the core of Garrity/Veteto/Eberhard/Dickson is very solid and a very veteran group. They finished the year pretty strong (granted, they had that 4 game losing streak near the end, but that had most to do with schedule), and I think the pressure will be up a bit because expectations are going to be higher than they have been for awhile. The recruiting class (excellent post on SacBuzz, by the way) will add nice depth and hopefully make the bench be strong, which will, at the very least, give them a great shot at making the conference tournament.<br /><br />Much appreciated on the link at SacBuzz!Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06120614209940641241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489976410121533313.post-12815672813676820362012-08-24T12:38:01.015-06:002012-08-24T12:38:01.015-06:00Thanks for the jinx Jon.

I hate the 2nd non D-1 game (my recollection is most BSC programs schedule at least 1 non D-1 opponent early) but my guess is we couldn’t land a home and home agreement with a regional program. Bako is a regularly scheduled opponent for us and we scheduled Cal Poly with a home and home the last 2 years. I was hoping that regional matchup could be renewed. In the past we have also had success scheduling a lower tier WCC program to a home and home but I guess we couldn’t do that this year.<br /> <br />It’s too early to get a prediction out of me but on paper the Hornets arguably have one of the best teams this program has seen in a while. I hope we can finally get some wins this year.<br /><br />BTW I posted a link to this on SacBuzz:<br />http://hornets.bigskyfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1690&p=16516#p16516SDHornetnoreply@blogger.com
