to better, subject to change as we get more information on current players and future recruits. But to place zero value on 4 unsigned recruits currently, doesn't seem reasonable to me.

Last year, we were skeptical Waterman had improved so much until after the Italy trip, upgrading the team's prospects AOTBE. Point being, future value of the 2025 roster likely changes even after it is completed.

Right now, it's not outrageous to project the team stands in a more promising place than last season. At least that's how I see it.

The proof of the pudding is in the results. For that, we must wait until next March.

In the meantime, you say tomahto, I say tomato. It's all opinion.
