Just got back from a business trip and read my post further back in this thread. I was referencing/basing my comments on the "wishful thinking" comment I made about a possible transfer, and should the transfer ever occur I would think that the Golden Eagles would surely contend with Osky (whom they beat on a neutral court two years ago). Otherwise, the majority of the comments made above about Wahlert not having a true center and average (or at least undersized) front court are sadly true. I'd argue about the chemistry problem comment, because the four kids back next year (which includes late season starter Lucas Topping, 6-4 if he stands on his toes) have played together since 2nd grade in Dubuque. Unfortunately, like in every city with multiple teams, folks have opinions about the various teams and their chemistry. Like makelovenotwar states, I don't want to make any comments on a public forum, but all the local and state teams I follow have their own cases of drama and variable chemistries, and observers can interpret or misinterpret things differently at times. There is no more stable team than Wahlert, as far as kids sticking with the program. My idea of success for Wahlert, the smallest school in the rugged 16-team MVC, is close to .500. Next year they could go above that. Senior has a very strong incoming junior class with talented guards, and they should be very competitive. Hemstead always seems to have incoming talent from the middle schools, particularly Jefferson.
