“The good news is that we return four players with extensive varsity experience and the bad news is we have eight who have never played a minute of high school basketball. Depth will be an issue for us from day one. If we can find a way to develop a little bit of depth giving our four upperclassmen just a little bit of rest now and then we will be in good shape. But that depth will only come with a lot of patience and a lot of learning by the young kids over the next couple of weeks,” - Ken Furstenau, Mead Coach
