To kick JJ to the curb is asking for another Mintz to Carlos situation, even though JJ was much worse than Mintz as the lead guard last season. I really can't stand how casual people are with thinking the portal will solve all our problems. It is a massive gamble to rely on getting in a competition with literally every other school for a small group of desired guys. If you do not have any continuity of any kind, and just want to replace massive amounts of your roster with portal adds, you will not improve unless you have preposterous money bags and a roster that portal guys would want to join. Last year we were somewhat close to being a tournament team with a first year coach, this year we were well below .500 with a coach who has shown no improvement in year 2. That matters. It costs money to make up for that. It is also likely there will be less portal options this offseason compared to last year.

We simply have to accept the reality of that situation. We cannot expect us to land a guy better than JJ, while also grabbing a new and improved Lamkin Davis Taylor Moore Carlos McLeod Bell etc. That is impossible in our current situation! Unless JJ has ridiculous money demands, or Melo comes through in an insane way with the bag, if he wants to stay we have to keep him, period. Otherwise don't be surprised when we drop a major bag on someone who can't create offense 1v1 against the toughest competition.
