This year's team is young & lacks some of the raw talent of past teams, but they also work harder than most of the other Wisconsin teams I've seen. I think they'll get better & better as the season goes on and they gain experience. The Showcase, I think, will serve as a great experience for later in the season when playoff crunch-time arrives.
