I think not so much down as young. They graduated 6 seniors, and only have one left on the roster, Kabbes, a good blocker in the middle. And they did rally to beat #2 U/SC in 5, after losing the first two, led by a sophomore and a freshman.
Of course, they were also playing at home. We'll see how they play on the road. In about 2 weeks. September 9 at Maples, to be precise. Also a few weeks later at Nebraska.
More interesting was SC's collapse. They led in game 4 16-8, then let the Lions run off a 11-3 run to tie the game at 19.
General assessment? Talented but vulnerable. Deja McClendon is great. And you'd better get them now; their 4 best players on the floor against the Trojans were two sophomores and two freshmen.
You're right, things will be more interesting this season.
