I'll take it a step further.  I think the fanbase has overrated Thompson as a recruit incredibly.  Even if everything you mention happens, we still will have Chukwu and Moyer in the frontcourt next year.  That's a solid base to start with for 17-18.  Would it be nice to have Thompson? Yes, but he is not make or break for 16-17.

The team as it's currently constructed needs shooting next year.  I like Gillon, but he shot 33% in a mid major conference from three.  Howard can't shoot at all, and Battle while an elite level athlete and driver, shooting is not his strong point.

Maybe Lydon makes a huge jump and has a Wes Johnson type season and my points are mute, but I don't see how we are successful offensively next year unless we have one more shooter.  The way the team is constructed now, you will have 2 non scorers on the court basically at all times.  That's not going to get it done if we want to be one of the top teams in the ACC.
