When projecting who the key contributors will be heading into each new season, it’s easy to overlook seniors who once showed promise, but whose play has leveled off since their arrival onto the scene. Yet, every year a certain number of 4th or 5th year players raise their game, somewhat out of the blue, and take on leadership roles that are hard to measure, yet invaluable to any team. I like to call it them “senior bump” because it is an ascent in play that seems to have no rhyme or reason other than it’s their senior year and something clicks.
