It’s pretty clear after hearing first year head coach Steve Pikiell speak at media day, his assessment of the program from when he took over back in April was not a positive one. He stated the team when he arrived was the worst conditioned group he has ever been around in his career. That is an alarming statement, but one that should also reaffrim that expectations for this season should be centered around progress in all areas and nothing more. The hard truth is this team is starting from the basement floor out of the gate this season. With that being said, there is real reason to believe that better days are ahead.
