We're about 5 months away from tipoff, but here's a fun way to start the new season thread:
If Robinson doesn't start, I'll eat my hat. He may well have been our best player last year.
One thing I think worth mentioning is, Dixon will have his hands full after Brod and Kenrich Williams, replacing them after next year. Those guys are both pro prospects and future prospects have a long way to go to fill those shoes.
It was a shame that TCU really brought the Dixon schemes together so late. I actually think they might have been the second best team in the 12 at the end. To his credit, Dixon recognized all this early on, telling everyone they weren't rebuilding but instead, competing in the 12. I bet he never dreamed of the talent he inherited when he took the new job. Dixon was even slow to realize how good Broz could be, and finally seeing the needed weight room work.. Recall that Johnson had combined some serious talent, minus point guards, but he clearly was not the floor coach that Dixon is. Johnson saw the future for Broz when almost everyone else failed to see it, to his credit.
All this came to a success for TCU, along with mighty donors, with only Johnson, a true casualty. Well, maybe Trent being another. Whatever, what a finish and a 32 point smashing of Geo Tech in the finals.

I agree that the guard play was a giant plus last year, but Vlad's play down low was HUGE for that team. He was awesomeIMHO Our success last year was directly related to our improved guard play. Adding RJ and Olden to that rotation should make us very dangerous. We need to be able to stretch the court and keep the dbl teams on Brod to a minimum. Gonna be. Fun year.
As long as Kenrich brings back the shag haircut this season, all will be well.
He has reported it's gone for good.
Hopefully not.
"But the shag might make another comeback. “I’ll wear it in season, but only during the season,” Williams said. TCU basketball players, coaches and fans alike can rest easy knowing they’ll see the same Kenrich Williams next season."
