This roster needs a full makeover, yet we we have one commitment for next year.
Next year, we will still have 3 guards that have proven they are not good enough to win at this level together.
Richmond could get better, but does anyone truly believe he's going to play any more than 20 minutes per game with Girard/Buddy as options? I have seen no signs of that being true.
The center position is losing the starting player at that position, who really isn't a center. The other three (THREE!) guys at the position have either not played, are hurt, or the head coach refuses to play. It's going to be a crapshoot next year at that position.
The forward position should be fine. But if Guerrier leaves, you have an undersized forward at one starter and a true freshman at the other. I think Benny is really good, but even the best forwards not named Carmelo Anthony have taken a year to develop at the collegiate level. Demetris Nichols took two years before he was a good starter. He was the #27 overall recruit his year. Benny is right in that range.
We are in a load of trouble as a program.
