In response to nychoops
The shape of next year's team looks largely set now except at small forward.
Small guard has six players including two new players and one further possibility. It is hard to imagine a transfer joining that group.
Shooting guard has four players including two new players. Again not much room for another transfer.
Small forward has only one player on the roster (Holland) with two offers still active (according to Verbal Commits). There is room for one or two more here.
Forwards/center has 6 players including two new arrivals. There is one offer still showing.
As was the case last year the team returns only two clearly superior players after losing its leading scorers. Last year it was Clark and Nick. Despite the succcess of two of the freshmen, the team was awful in the Ivies.
This year, it returns Sam and Nick. We hoped it would be three including Tyler. But his loss means we are forced to depend either on the development of the sophomores or catching lightning with the new arrivals. I suppose Eddie, Cam, Reese, Jonnie, or George could suddenly jump up two notches, but we have seen enough of them to doubt such an outcome.
So, again, the team will depend on the play of newcomers. That will make it interesting - if not satisfying. Given last year's bad result we know it will take more than the arrival of two useful newcomers to make this team a winner. Something dramatic has to happen.
Oh well!
