I think Wright had just enough to be your number 1 scoring option here...but needed better complimentary parts as the 2nd/3rd options. if he was our 2nd option all year and we had PJ Haggerty-type as the 1 we'd be looking at the best team in program history
end season/NIT Floyd was different...and had he been around all season he was enough to be that 3rd option above
Lorient has so much upside, but man I don't trust him with the ball in his hands for more than 3 seconds. I will LOVE it if he stays, but won't cry if he leaves
probably the more than likely 13
PG. Jasper Floyd - I'd be happy if he sticks around, especially the more assertive version we saw in the NIT...probably a tick below Big 12 standards, at least as a starter
SG. Je'Shawn Stevenson - I think he needs another year, but all his stats indicate he'll be a star
SF. D1 transfer that we're all assuming/hoping will be the leading scorer
PF. Grant Newell
C. Dylan Arnett
Key Bench
- Brock Vice - just trying to talk myself into the idea he's staying
- Tyran Mason/DJ Thomas - can't get over the idea only one of these dudes will be here next year
- Cahmai Crosby - everything I can find says he's just barely good enough to carve out a role here
- Reece Robinson - there's a lot of upside here
Developmental Bench
- Baron Smith - if all the above happens, all your bigs are seniors so maybe there's a role in 2 years
- freshman guard
- freshman guard
- freshman wing
Last year we retained all but Tylor Perry. FAU returned everyone, and that’s just the top two schools from AAC. This year we all lost everyone…or almost everyone. Look at last year’s AAC all conference team and how many are in the SEC and Big 10 now. The full on impact of the free transfer and NIL really hit this year.
To your point, it’s just one year, but it feels like a major shift has now occurred and the fundamental landscape has changed. I’d love to be proven wrong.
