Going into the spring we've made a lot of adjustments [offensively]. The team has bought into our philosophy. They've done really well making the adjustments, they haven't tried to fight it and its just going to be a matter of time once everybody is completely comfortable with it.

We have an 'older' club this year. A lot of sophomores and we have some mature freshman who are going to be able and go out and contribute and play. [They will] contribute in a lot of ways to help this team out, to compete to win the Jayhawk West again, compete for the Region VI Final and compete for a national title.

Some of our freshmen that came in were banged up a little bit. [They] played a lot of ball in the spring, summer, then coming into the fall they had some nagging injuries that turned into being a little bit more than just nagging. We got them cleaned up and within the next three weeks we should be back to 100 percent.

Last year we didn't have a lot of depth; this year we do. We have a lot of quality players coming off the bench this year. They understand their role. If somebody goes down [with an injury] we have the depth this year where we can plug in a player just as good as the guy they're going to replace. Last year we didn't have that [depth] and at times it put us in the hole.
