Tells me 2016-17 could be very tough thanks to graduation combined with potential transfers and NBA early entry.

Who cares if we win, lose, or even make the NCAAs as long as players graduate and don't get arrested.

0 Trahson Burrell 6-7/182 Forward SR - How will he be used next year? Will it help maximize his talent?

1 Markel Crawford 6-4/200 Guard RS SO - Will he blossom offensively or be destined as a defensive guy?

2 Shaq Goodwin 6-8/215 Forward SR -Graduate Transfer? Although he says otherwise for "now"

3 Pookie Powell 6-1/187 Guard JR -Possible Transfer

4 Austin Nichols 6-9/228 Forward JR

5 Nick King 6-7/225 Forward/Guard JR - Possible Transfer

11 Chris Hawkins 6-6/230 Forward SR - Will he come back with the constant health issues?

12 D'Marnier Cunningham 5-9/163 Guard SR - Will he come back if not on scholarship?

14 Jordan Manse 6-2/175 Guard RS FR

15 Kedren Johnson 6-4/218 Guard JR - Is he fully committed?

20 Avery Woodson 6-2/196 Guard JR - Can he expand his game?

Pope.

There's no "Pope" when there's so much uncertainty with this program. I suspect we'll have a fluid situation with players and coaches.

So we have maybe 2 guys that can put a ball through the hoop beyond 21 feet?

No point in speculating at this time we don't know what players we'll have or who the coach will be.

Yeah, yeah it'll probably be Pastner but it aint' over 'till it's over.

Our key to success is a fat PG who doesn't know if he'll commit to basketball this off-season...

ha, it confounds me how PHN and now KJ find ways to continue to be overweight and still play D1 basketball. I mean, you gotta burn so many calories just practicing everyday not to mention playing in actual games.

Josh Smith of Georgetown too. It's beyond me how he is A) still in college
B) easily 300 pounds after 6 years of D1 basketball.

Does KJ have a Grandmama who likes to cook?

Nichols - 5 star, 1st Team All AAC
Shaq - McDonalds AA
Lawsons - highly ranked, one McD AA
Burrell - Top Juco
Markel, Pookie, King - all 4 stars
Woodson - designated shooter

Plenty would want that.

No matter who the head coach is, the players have to play hard and execute. We did play hard, I'll certainly give them that.

Again I've said this before basketball recruiting rankings are ridiculous. So many, and it's literally so many, are over ranked.

On Markel. I can see him filling a role similar to Antonio Anderson. If he did we will all be happy.

Burrell will play the same type of role that Will Barton played.
