If Cj comes back I expect

[gilardino]

to play the first 2 rounds in Buffalo for the NCAA

1) I don't think there is any way CJ doesn't come back. He has to see that he is only a fringe first round player at this point.
2) I think Ennis will slide into that PG spot nicely, and I firmly believe DC2 is going to make a pretty nice jump with an offseason under his belt working with college level trainers.
3) Gbinije will be a very solid player and really help cushion the loss of Triche and, to an extent, Dirty.
4) Grant will take a big step forward too as he settles into a starting role.
5) Cooney will get his head on right and become the shooter we all expected him to be.
6) We will start the season ranked around 12-15 range and finish the season probably around 5-10 range, if we stay healthy and one person steps up and proves they can be a capable backup PG.

Spot on. Agree on all points.

Just curious...anyone on here remember where Hak was projected to go if he had left early?

I am looking forward to seeing Grant next year. I think he might take two steps forward.

Fully expect this team, if CJ returns, to take the ACC by storm and have the ACC trolls and ESPN eating crow come March again.

All I remember was JB being asked in a post game PC at some point if Hak would leave to enter the draft. His response: "Who's going to draft him? The Army?"

Fixed. There's only one place I wanted to be ranked when the entire season is over.

If Grant, DC2, and Cooney all make the sophomore jump, if Gbinije is as good as billed, and if Ennis is capable of filling MCW's shoes, then next year's team could be pretty darn good. Ultimately, maybe even better than this year's team was.

that was after Hak's soph year. Not his Jr year.

Especially considering how they really overreached in the tourney. Next year's team should be pretty similar I'd say. Ennis will handle things fine. He's gone up against guys who could play right now in college for the past year.

Jerami Grant is going to be a beast. Hopefully Dajuan too, but I see Grant quickly becoming an unstoppable force. Sky is the limit.

He needs to get stronger -- kid fell down way too much. But he's got a great frame, no doubt he'll incrementally put good weight on throughout his career. If Grant / Coleman both come back with improved low post games, we're going to be a very good team.
