I really think that ranking will climb all year. VU was perceived as a young team going into this season. What people will be surprised about is how good these young guys are. Lachance and Mitchell are so advanced compared to average freshmen. Roberson too. We haven't even seen MFD yet.

And not to forget the physical/swagger wing-guard combo Wade Baldwin.

The game a few weeks down the road when Baylor comes to town will be a great measuring stick type of game for VU.

There was a time when high school players would play almost all 36 minutes every game with very little subbing.  That has changed and will benefit younger incoming players.  They will be able to cope with having a different combination of guys out there with them.
