I disagree. Players emerge and team chemistry and consistency may be better.

I also disagree. CofC is the obvious favorite, but the conference looks wide open in my eyes.
You are basing your thoughts on W&M by what has graduated/transferred. Sure, they will miss the dynamic seniors, but the cupboard is far from bare. Think about how much experience the tribe bring back. Perimeter shooting will be strong. Knight is already probably in the top 2 or 3 bigs in the CAA. By all accounts Milon can step in and produce. I look for Malinowski to step into a larger leadership role. As a senior, this is David Cohn's team. I think his fire will push the engine and he will get guys involved. I think Pierce will become more consistent and reliable. I think the 2 freshmen can contribute- especially Loewe who can still push tempo and produce coming of the bench.

The big questions are now:
1) Who steps up as the guy when you need a bucket? Is it Nathan Knight? Seniors Malinowski or Cohn? The unknown in Matt Milon?

2) Do they have a serviceable big to spell Knight? Can Rowley be that mismatch stretch 4? Will they get that elusive 2017 last minute big or grad transfer? Schuyler, even coming off the bench, would help a great deal.

Sure that is a lot of what ifs and conjecture, but every team is dealing with that.

1) We will miss Dixon and Prewitt, but someone will step up. Millon is supposed be a sharp shooter.
2) We do need 1 or 2 big hopefully 2. I cannot imagine Rowley being 4. Rowley is deadly from 3s, but has no inside move/game.
