In Jeremiah Vargas 2nd year as head coach at Minnesota State, he preached for patience all year. Even when the team shot out of the OOC gate with 10 wins, he told people to relax and this team would need to gel.
They'll be waiting another year, but at least he recruited another monster class to help them get closer.

As far as a team identity is concerned, scoring was the soup of the day for this team. When they shot the ball, they were hard for anyone to keep up with, but their record wasn't great against the few tough teams they had all year, going 2-5 against Top 100 clubs.

Year 3 will be a no-excuses year for this program and we'll see whether or not Minnesota State has the goods to really take a huge step forward or if it'll end up being more of the same. With 4 4-star recruits showing up to go with a team only losing one senior starter, it'll be time for the club to get their act together.
