Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 4526428, member: 405"] There's nobody in this group I would want to see go, honestly. I don't see Judah going anywhere yet. The press loves him, but we could have a much better year next year, and he still has a lot of areas that he can improve his draft stock. Jesse, Joe and Symir are all seniors, right? Or are you saying they could take a "COVID year" and come back? I don't really know the rules about that. The only one I really see who might want to return could be Jesse, if he doesn't get great feedback from the scouts. Or he might just move to the Netherlands with his girlfriend and start earning money. Based on our recent history, it would be kind of a [I]miracle[/I] if Jesse is back, IMO. Mounir Hima is a solid defensive center. He could give us 20 minutes a game next year. We'd obviously need someone who can present a low post threat on offense. Peter Carey's knee surgery probably rules him out of serious rotation consideration for next year. So, I guess we have to look for another portal center. I'd like to see one of those 6-8 or 6-9 stretch four type of guys, but stocky enough at 230 or 240, so he won't get pushed all over the court by opposing big men. I like our rotation of forwards, and think they all have room to improve and be contributors. I guess that out of 5 or 6 guys, we might lose one or two, or we might move a guy or two to improve the depth at guard. I think we also have to get a real shooter / combo guy at the 2, to replace Joe's production, and to also help open up the floor for Judah. I don't think Taylor will be our starting 2 guard next year, but if we don't get anyone better, he very well might wind up as the guy. If we can add 2 pieces like that from the portal (an offensive center who can give us a solid 8 and 6, and a 2G who can hit 35% from three and also get to the rim), this could be a very solid team next year. I would even say a "back in the tournament" team. [/QUOTE]
