In no way, shape or form will UC be rebuilding next year. Caupain, Johnson, Evans, Clark, Washington, Jenifer, Cumberland, Scott. Plenty of talent and experience...

Yeah...I'm pretty sure having to replace Jermaine Sanders isn't what I would consider "rebuilding"

I am talking about next year 2016 2017 season.

Losing 4 starters both bigs plus shak and point guard who will get most of the PT this year is rebuilding.

4 starters? I count 2 unless Cobb starts this year. Caupain and kj both juniors, Clark is a sophomore

Cobb is a starter.

Cobb is a starter.

Cobb averaged about 2 more minutes per game than KJ and KJ started almost every game. Not much difference in that sense. I'd say Cobb getting a couple extra minutes really came down to the fact that he served as the backup PG as well.

Is Cobb the starter this year? I don't know, but he wasn't the clear starter last year. And again... even if you make Cobb the starter instead of KJ you are losing 3 senior starters (with KJ essentially close to a starter). Troy is a Jr, Gary Clark is a Sophomore... and then UC will have plenty of returning bench guys.

Oh goodie, we get to have a semantic debate about the difference between rebuilding and reloading

I prefer to think of it as reconstituting.

If anyone thinks a team with two senior guards, Gary Clark, and a high caliber transfer post player is rebuilding then they've got a much different definition than me. Last year with two sophomore guards, 3 Juco transfers and a freshman in the rotation would be rebuilding. Cats will be outstanding in 16-17.

This thread should be a celebration!...instead too many Nancy Nos. WTF???????????? We are in a tournament with DUKE!!!!!!!! An envious position by any metric!
Gives Mic another lever in short term recruiting, and pub for UC. Martin to Levet II !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New tourney in Nov. 2017 in Cayman Islands. GSM has Cincy, Iowa, UAB and Wyoming in 8 team field.

The Hall of Fame Tip of Classic and then something like the Cayman Island tourney are both outstanding accomplishments for UC and even bigger opportunities for us to Represent The C!

Great job by the Athletic Dept. if all this comes to pass

Yeah, all the negative crap is wearing, but screw Dook and their rodent faced coach, they should be afraid. We're gonna kick their a$$.

Duane should be here soon to let Duke AND the Cayman Islands know what they are in store for.
