In response to Chet Forte
We may have the best backcourt in the Ivy League next season. Smith will start at point guard and at least five very talented players will be competing for the other spots in what is clearly shaping up as a very good three guard and maybe even four guard offense. However, the frontcourt is a question mark. Meisner is the only returning forward with substantial playing time, but while he obviously possesses the physical skills to become a dominant player in the Ivy League that has not yet happened. I would like to see him become more of power forward next season than a wing. Tape also has the physical tools to blossom into a star, but the coaching staff seemed to have reservations last season about using him extensively because of his lack of prior high level competition. If that is the case, then he needs to find a mentor this summer to teach him what he needs to know. There is no doubt that Faulds will be an impact player at Columbia, but he will need help from Meisner, Tape and some others. Hopefully, Brumant and maybe Sica or Andrew P will help. Finally, I feel Hunter is better suited to play up front than in the backcourt. Hunter and Hanson could contribute more next year as forwards than guards.
