Experience doesn't mean everything - but it can be a huge factor.  This year's starting team had a total of 11 years experience (including red shirt years).  Next year's starters (Mickey, Delly, Sticks, Rob and Kenton) will have 12 years D1 experience. And the 2012/2013 starters (Delly, Jorden, Sticks, Rob and Kenton) will have 15 years experience.
