I think everyone hopes the Blues improve over last years dismal record, but reality is that it will take at least a couple of years to get even close to the top. Talent dictates success in SWD and the talent is in the school, but getting them to come out and play will be the tricky thing. Buddy Ball, and Daddy Ball, not to mention the failed leadership that wrecked the feeder program will be hard to overcome. Students who are good enough to play don't want to just be on the practice team, and that's what has happened the past few years. Good athletes have came out and worked their butts off only to be overlooked. I've personally talked to a few and when I ask why they quit the team or wasn't playing the answer I got was ligit: "Who wants to be a proctice dummy for someone who isn't as talented." That is what's been going on, so the talent said to heck with it and either transferred or just decided not to compete in a loosing situation. There has been good talent left behind the last three years because of who they were, not how good they were, and this has to stop if the Blues are going to be successful, and I think this will happen, but could take a while. Hope HC Davis gets some good assistants who will allow talent to play, not social status, or family connections. Play the most talented, no matter who they are, let them play.
