Well it is just conversation. If anyone chooses to take things personally that’s on them. Since you quoted some of my comment, I do not believe “competitive†is a negative...many teams aren’t. When you are competitive, which Bucknell typically is, you always have a chance to win. And in my view, without knowing the future, I think it will be difficult to be a Top 3 team next year. Not impossible, I would just have to see how different guys step up into very new roles. And speaking of the future, I’ve read and heard more than once that recruiting is a bit of a concern at this moment. I have no inside information, just what I hear and read. So there are many factors that just can’t be known. Of course I have confidence in the program but even the best have to take time to regroup. Recently, Bucknell certainly had to do it 2007-8, 2008-9, 2009-10 and 2013-14. And even those more difficult seasons I enjoyed attending games and following the team.
But I am not looking past this current season that could be very special. I am definitely enjoying this season now and look forward to Kimbal and Avi returning so this team can peak by tournament time. And I am thankful for the contributions of every player and coach. Ray Bucknell!
