Very high on team expectations, but seeing is believing, so I'm tempering my enthusiasm somewhat.

Unlike some, not very high on McKenzie.  Things I didn't like about him last year were his below-average quickness, and his propensity to look at the ball too much while dribbling and getting his pocket picked.  Comparing to him to a guy like Dougher as a freshman, I think he's well behind in development, and remember he had that extra prep year to boot.  Still, I'll be rooting for him, if he gets the nod.

Big keys to this season will be the expected high play of Yeboah and Olaniyi, and their ability to stay out of foul trouble.  Both had this nagging problem last year, and when they weren't on the court, the team just wasn't the same.

Looking forward to seeing Latimer and Otchere impact the team immediately too.

Re: McKenzie, I don't think anyone thinks he's this star now or that he'll ever become one. I think third team all conference is within reach over the course of his career, maybe second if he really develops. I'm not "high on" McKenzie but I'm comfortable with him – good passer, takes care of the ball, runs the offense. Could do worse, could do better. The question remains whether Latimer or Ceesay can supplant him and, if they can, when.
