I'll come back after next season and maybe you'll be the topic of my roast.

 

Dorian was originally committed to OSU btw

 

So he went from being committed to Ohio State to not playing at Rutgers to Kent. There is either a character issue, talent issue, or both.

We’ll see... I’ll revisit this after the season. I think some of you will be severely disappointed. My expectations are much lower this year, so I can’t really be disappointed

 

I don't find it unreasonable to have lower expectations for next season. I also don't think we'll finish in the top ~60 for NET or go 17-1 in the MAC, like we did this year.

 

I also don't see any team as good as Akron or Miami were last season for this coming season. Akron/Miami really pounded the rest of the league. Kent kind of did too to a lessor degree as I think they only had 1 loss to a MAC team not named Miami or Akron. I expect next year there will be 4-5 teams in the top 100-150 range battling it out for MAC supremacy. I'm not saying Akron will come out on top, but I'm not seeing anything from any of the other MAC schools that leads me to believe we should be written off.

I'm not as negative about next season as AkronAlumnus is but I do have lower expectations than last year, for sure. 

 

I felt okay when we started off by getting Staveskie but Burton and Hammer do nothing to make think we're on our way to another MAC title. Of course, who knows with every team having so many new players but as Kreed said, on the surface, it's not realistic to say this team will be better than last year.
