If you don't replace Cole (hence a team without Cole being just fine) we are likely looking at something like 2018-2019. Girard, like Hughes is the only proven 3 pt shooter. You have a big 3 in Girard, Edwards and hopefully Mintz. After that it's on the development of Benny (wildcard), Frank Howard was also a wildcard. You add a veteran in Torrence ( like we had in Bourama).

You then toss out a long list of unknowns. We had 9 guys who played 10 minutes per game that year. We were really tough on D but putrid on offense. We won with a lot of hero ball. You hope Mintz can break that down with help off the bench from Symir.

You hope Taylor or Bunch can be 3pt threats. You hope depth comes from Brown or Carey. You hope Copeland gives you more than say an 18-19 Jalen Carey.

It's all a guessing game. Not to mention one of the big 3, without Cole coming back is still a freshman himself. So it's more a big 2 that we know of.

Thus anyone saying losing Cole is no biggie must really like rock fights or have a crystal ball.

Thus we need a replacement who can put the ball in the hoop. Ideally that would be someone in this large recruiting class. Thus find the 1 yr rental and if the youngsters upstage him then so be it.
