Developmentally, we still are growing. We still need to learn how to play together and gain confidence together. But we are more hungry and knowledgeable, I think, this year.

Things just need to fall into place. They need to go out, play and get the feel of what it takes to get some wins and just playing in matches.

This team has the potential to be very strong. I have a lot coming back from last year and I think we can be a lot better than we were at 11-11 last year. The guys we have out want to get better and they're looking forward to playing.

Jordan and Jim White (16-10 at second doubles in 2005) are going to be playing first doubles for us. Our singles players are definitely going to be strengthened with Nick playing, but our doubles teams definitely have an opportunity to develop.

Nick worked on his game a lot in a tennis club. He'll definitely help us this season. Any time you have a No. 1 player like that, it really enhances your team. It gives us a weapon at No. 1 and it makes us a lot stronger down the lineup.

We had passive turnovers where we were turning it over on the pass. If we play with more confidence and more aggressively on our passes and our drives, I think we would have fewer turnovers.
