Message: [QUOTE="arbitragegls, post: 206993, member: 302"] presume Fab leaves for NBA...that leaves: Christmas, Keita, Coleman, CJ, Dirty, and Grant on the front line...to me this is a darn strong mix: 1. [B]Christmas[/B]: soph coming in with limited minutes but certainly will know what has to be done and expected...good off season and he will be ready with his athleticism and extra weight 2. [B]Coleman:[/B] comes in as Top 15 in class...[B]better than Noel offensive end[/B] and a rebounder--two things 'Cuse can use 3. [B]Keita[/B]: needs hands and some weight...sometimes shows a flair for the game. Will one more off season get him ready to play and contribute as expected? 4. [B]CJ[/B]: believe that he maybe the 'Cuse secret NBA player with smooth stroke, and offensive power...defense pretty good...but think of an extra 10-15 pounds of muscle and this kid will be a STAR. Smoothest stroke on team. 5. [B]Dirty[/B]: Eventually the 3s begin to fall again...great stroke...but more importantly has been playing good defense and fighting for boards. A good 2 pt shooter... 6. [B]Grant:[/B] Lets put this guy in perspective. Before going down with his leg injury he was ranked right after Harris--TN to pros in one year--and has been moving up the Top 100 since he regained his health. He reminds me of a combo of KJ and CJ...nice stroke and eager to get boards and plays defense...he may follow CJ and KJ as a legitimate great wing at 'Cuse Even without Fab on the list 'Cuse is in very good shape upfront. Do we get Noel? Not sure but team competition for him probably leans to KY as they have no players also eating minutes in the front court next year...Noel plays as many minutes as he wants at KY (and probably 'Cuse). BUT KY needs him more and CAL will find way to get him...above or below the table. 'Cuse will be very strong with or without Noel...infact; I believe next year's team will be as good as this year's...take it to the Final Four! [/QUOTE]
