In looking over who has not graduated and who is expected in I think on balance it's OK. I say OK as there are so many unknowns, players that didn't play this year plus all the new faces.
My 1 concern is at the point guard position. We only have 1. With all the openings Saul had to recruit to fill I would have thought the PG would be a top priority, as we all know how important this position is in the college game.
After reading Jayson's article today on next years team it is really apparent that this can be classified as Saul's team, between the number of graduates and new faces. Now we will see what we paid $550k per for.




GO BOBCATS

Those D.J. teams had Stevie as a backup but I believe Stevie only averaged less than 10 minutes per game. Just enough to spell D.J. I have heard from people that Jaaron is an impact player who will definitely be a pure point guard unlike Bean or even Stevie. If Jordy and Ryan Taylor can spell Simmons every so often we should be ok. This year's team will definitely have WAAAYYY more shooters with Gollon and Block added to Kaminski but my main worry is the inside play. Can Kaminski go inside? Can Doug Taylor come back from injury? Will Wadly play? If we're left with just Tony we're in trouble.

Just 1 senior next year means just 1 scholly to give for 2016, swing for the fences. I wonder if one of the 5 incoming freshmen will red shirt.

One of the things that I wonder about for next year is whether or not anyone returning, with the exception of Tony Campbell, is going to be able to crack the starting lineup.

The talk about all five incoming freshmen is pretty strong. It would seem that Dartis, Block, and Dozier are being expected to contribute and play significant minutes immediately. Toss in the certainty that Campbell, Kaminski, and Simmons will play major minutes, and there isn't a lot of floor time left. As I've said in other threads, I really like the competition that's going to exist for PT next year. It also means there will be depth, and to some folks pleasure, it means guys making "me first" decisions can at least in theory see time on the bench.

I'm ready to hear Saul speak at Caravan now!
