If Jones doesn’t come back, and I don’t expect him to, our PG is going to be a combo of Boogie and Goldwire. If Hurt signs, then

Goldwire / Ellis
AOC / Baker
Moore / White
Carey / Hurt
Bolden / Javin

Meh. I think that's a good projection. But I think it's a Sweet Sixteen team.

Based on what we know of the players right now, I would agree. O'Connell, Jones, and Bolden would have to make big improvements for us to get back to the Elite Eight.

Also, I think Boogie and Baker will surprise and give us some scoring off the bench.

No idea what the new recruits bring but I would like to get the PG from Bama...he's quick, a scorer and can beat players 1 on 1..more of what we need at PG. A grad transfer like Reid or Johnson would be nice too...experience and size is a great package to go with youth and skill!
I happen to think less brilliant talent is a good thing ( Zion the exception)...at times it felt like there was too much hero ball in this team from certain players

This lineup might never get a rebound. Do you think Bolden is going pro?

No but there has been rumblings that he may be up in the air about returning to college for his final year.
I didn’t list him because he’s a big plus should he return but the biggest addition would be a sophomore Tre but I don’t see him returning

Also I think they would surprise a lot on the rebounding end that’s height and length outside of Alex and Goldwire

If Tre doesn’t come back, I think RJ Hampton will reclassify and be PG at Duke. At least that’s what I have been lead to believe from reading recruiting updates.

Dude you’re five is going to really suck. If you don’t get cole you’re an NIT team. We may not be good as in 4-5 seed but we won’t be THAT bad lol
we'll see. Roy, unlike K, can actually get use out of his bench. If your starting 5 ain't brilliant, you won't be doing much.
