Really good post!

A couple reaction comments:

Yes, Jesse put up a year that ranks among our all-time 10 best years for centers.  We are not going to come close to replacing that production with any combination of portal, bench payers and new recruits.

Judah did improve enormously during the season.  I would say, perhaps, that Jonny Flynn year two was a similar rise to stardom, maybe even moreso.

JBA and Symir did do really good things to turn this team around in December / January, when we were coming off the rails. JBA's passing from the four position was good for 3 or 4 assists a game for about 3 weeks in January, and then suddenly, Symir began playing much faster and pushing the tempo when he came in.  So I agree that both of those guys are legit Division 1 basketball players, I thank them for their service to SU, and I wish them well in their last season, if they so choose.

Girard was always a bad fit for our program, just like Paul Harris was.  Girard should have gone to Notre Dame and Harris should have gone to Pitt, and they both would have had better careers.

The biggest blows to the program have been reputational these past few weeks.  We either have to fix that fast or it will sink the program before it can get back on track.
