How can anybody claim this team will be a FF contender or preseason top 10-15?!?

Losing Xmas will be extremely difficult to overcome. His offense alone will be tough to replaced, but hes also a good rebounder and above average defender inside. He's our best player and this isn't like replacing Fair. Rak has shown a unique skill set this year and is a rarity for this program - a great interior scorer.

How much better can Trevor and G be next year? Roberson and KJ can improve but I'm not expecting a huge jump. I don't think BJ or Buss will play much.

CMC and DC are coming off knee surgeries, so the range of outcomes for their play is all over the place. I'm not even sure DC is any good anyhow.

The recruiting class looks pretty good with the potential to be great but we have one top 25 type coming in. The other 3 are more long term players than immediate help. If Bryant comes, that'll help soften losing Xmas but it seems so many of you are basing any success next year on the frosh, and we know that's not a great way to succeed.

i am worried about low post scoring, interior defense and PG play. We should probably be deeper and will have more guard options, but who knows. I think if we are to make any kind of noise next year, it'll be after a slow start to the year.
