Extended Around Aggieland with Howard Joffe

Great interview!

Coach mentioned 3 new players for the Fall. Whom are they?

Joffe thinks they will be just as good next year!

I believe two internationals are coming in along with Jana Mccord from California and a walkon from the Dallas area. I spoke with Mark a few days ago and he didn't give me a lot of info, but said they should be looking pretty good again next year.

Like to hear that we are going to be really good again next year, although I find it hard to believe that it will be a comparable year to this past year. Seasons like this one don't come around too often especially with several more newcomers. If they pull off another great season like this year I will be beyond impressed.

Slick, I talked to Howard last spring at the end of the year about this year's play. The guy is a prophet. He predicted last year that we'd be there in the NCAAs. I didn't believe him, now anything this guy says, he's right until he's proven wrong, and if I didn't shave until he's proven wrong I'd look like one of the guys on ZZ Top. He knows who he's recruiting, meaning he can visualize them competing and how they will measure up against the competition and I'd bet dollars to donuts he has his preferred lineup in his head right now for next year.

I am sure the team will be good next year and hopefully as good as this past year. Got to chime in though about Joffe being a prophet. He knows his stuff obviously, but it was much easier to know what he was going to have this past season because he already had these players on the team. He knew Sanchez, Stancu and Urbina could all win at the top against anyone. Stancu had a pretty mediocre year, but basically he knew they were deadly at the top because he knew what he had. I don't see how he could that for sure with the new players just coming in. It is one thing to see the players on a day to day basis and it is another thing to have new players coming in that you have only seen from afar.
