I have seen them play both pre-season scrimmages. My take away is they are quick, have some talent, but are not physically mature. They are intelligent. They have a few key players in development that have special potential. Freshman post player Davidson is athletic, talented, and has competitve fire. Eighth grader Skaggs could be one of the best to come out of Russell before hiis career is over. They have two sharp shooters in Stapleton and a sophmore, Brandon Boyd. They have decent ball handlers in Ross, a transfer from Carroll Co., and McKenzie, a sophmore. They also have a combo guard with talent and experience in Tanner Alexander.
I agree they are next years story but this year should show good progress in that they will be competitive, win or lose.
