Message: [QUOTE="jordoo, post: 1302699, member: 569"] Next year we could be THE absolute best team if all goes well or we could get another post season ban from the NCAA and see mass exodus and really struggle again. The NCAA thing first needs to be announced officially before we get way into the debate IMO. I tend to think we are cleared for next year which would also mean Bryant winds up on the hill. If that's the case the next thing is Mike coming back because he will be special next season. He would take the pressure off of Kaleb and Howard even though I still see him in more of a point forward roll since he does his best work playing on the ball against other forwards. Assuming Mike is back and Bryant comes to SU: - we would be returning Kaleb, Trevor, Mike, Tyler and Chris who all have experience as starters. - we would also have Coleman, Bryant, Diange, Obokoh and Chris to play the 5 so no depth issue there. - we would have Kaleb, Howard and Mike to play PG so no depth issues there. - we would have a full roster of scholarship players. So we would have depth at our 2 thinnest positions this year, overall roster depth and loads of returning experience. I think we would be ranked in the top10 top start the year and be very good start to finish. A couple of things people have been questioning: -DC2, very valid as we just don't know. I expect him to be 100% healthy to start the season but even if he isn't improved he's still a legit rebounder who can give us 5 fouls and represents a post presence on offense who will at the very least draw fouls. Staying healthy all season has to remain a concern until we see him do it once. -Kaleb's development. This is not a Josh Wright type of situation. Kaleb has shown some very good things and will at the very least be a reliable player to ferry the ball up and down the court next year and score more consistently. He must get better on defense! I think we see a very nice improvement all around from him next season (very common from frosh to soph) and then he really puts it together as a Junior. -Chris should be 100% healthy and come back stronger from his injury. This is the norm now days. Strength was his biggest issue this year. [/QUOTE]
