Time to fire up a Dayton Flyers thread for the season. Currently sitting at No. 14 in the AP poll.
This team is far and away the best Dayton squad I've seen in my ~20 years of fandom. There is a ton of talent, led by a likely first-round pick. They've got a savvy veteran PG back. They have two excellent glue-guy senior leaders that know their role. They got a huge influx in talent with the four transfers coming online. If they lack anything, it's size, but hopefully Tshimanga rounds in to shape before they confront any really big front lines (would helped against Kansas).
Not only do they a lot of talent, but they are well-organized and disciplined. Grant has a system, the staff gameplans well, and the team always looks stable and in control.
As a Dayton fan, I keep waiting for things to implode, but at this point they have been exceptionally impressive. If they don't win the conference regular season and tournament championships, I would mark the season a bit of a disappointment.
