Good post, Jordoo.  Thorpe would be an intriguing, important "get."  I know that he won't excite the fanbase, but he'd tremendously improve the depth at guard, give us another wing scorer, give us another player who can create off of the bounce and take it to the basket, and give us a guy who has at least some experience playing the point.

Thorpe isn't Andrew White, but he's not a bad shooter.  And he'd be a double figure scorer who could play the 2 in a three guard lineup [with Battle shifting to the back line defensively], or step in at the 1 if Frank falters again.

Dolezaj is athletic and fundamentally sound, and according to an insider -- might be a better shooter than I thought.  I wouldn't be surprised at all to see his career arc mirror CJ Fair's.[i.e., versatile combo forward who contributes early, improves each year, and is a multi-year starter].

And as you point out, Hughes would have a year to learn the system before stepping in for Battle.  Big, athletic wing at 6-6 220 pounds.  T

Landing those three would really replenish wing depth, even though things didn't work out the way we'd hoped with Randolph or Tucker.

And I think you are right on the money when you suggest that group [including Moyer] would not only replenish depth but also infuse the foundation with talented program guys who would stabilize some of our lineup issues of the past few years, and bring stability to Boeheim's final act.
