Last season is over.
It was over before I got to my truck outside the Dunkin' Donuts Center in Providence, RI. It was basically over by halftime of the Ohio game but I can't help but think about all of the nonsense that was the 2009-2010 Georgetown Hoyas.
What happened? What was real? What was a joke? Did I really drive to DC in a blizzard for a behind the woodshed type beating of Villanova? Did they really blow the doors off the eventual National Champs AND lose to Rutgers?
The last time I think about any of that will be tomorrow on the drive down to Norfolk. Looking backwards never gets you anywhere in life. Especially since the faces and names are always changing.
What I do know is that life goes on and it goes on without Greg Monroe. That's OK because the pieces are there to do something special. Every hand is a winner and every hand is a loser. I can't wait to see how this hand wins. It doesn't have to be tomorrow, but it would be a lot cooler if it was tomorrow down in the 757.
I don't know how everybody is going to get minutes on this team with the logjam of depth and experience at the 1 - 3 spots. How do Vee, Aaron, and Markel get enough time?
Will they ever go big? And by big I mean having Hollis at the 3 and not the 4.
What will Bennimon's improvement be like? Will Lubick or Sims be able to provide enough off the bench? Will they start. I think Henry could really benefit from starting. I think it would put him in the right frame of mind to accomplish a lot over the next two years.
Can Clark be the Kris Joseph of the 10-11 Hoyas? I think he could and it would be sick.
The smart money is on a lineup of Wright, Clark, Freeman, Thompson, Vaughn.
I'm cool with whatever. All I ask from the coaches of the teams that I follow is that they don't fall in love with a system at the expense of personnel. Do what's best for the team to win games and not what's best for your system to work.
See you tomorrow.
