to hope that the incoming talent this year is better than what we lost?

The "pure" talent might be better, but that doesn't translate into on court performance in their first year here. I have high hopes for Javes (I'm am still assuming he will be eligible) and think he is more of a talent than Derrick Bails. But I doubt its realistic to think he will be better, right out of high school, then Derrick was as a 5th year senior. Dillard and Lawton may be as talented as Solo, but obviously won't be as good as he was as a 5th year senior. I would hope that WN will be a factor, from the day he gets here, considering his experience on the international stage and his maturity. My hope is that this year's team will be "late bloomers" like last year's team. But with all the new guys, and what we lost, we may still be a year away.
