Blaine's final roster had Nick Wright, Aaron Bacon, Keenan Palmore, Dimitri Batten, Abrose Mosely, DeShawn Painter, Ekene Anachebe, Deion Clark, Stuart McEwen, Richard Ross, Donte Hill, Anton Larson
Only five of those guys would get ANY playing time on this years team. Those would be Dimitri Batten, Ambrose Mosely, DeShawn Painter, Richard Ross and Donte Hill. Those five were all good players, but I don't think I'd trade any of our starters for any of those guys. Maybe, Painter, maybe. If you could trade Alfis, Pickney, Kah, Carver for them, we'd probably win CUSA.
The biggest problem wasn't a lack of talent (although there was a huge drop off once you got to the bench), it was a coach dealing with other issues than coaching a basketball team.
JJ got all of them except Painter and Nick Wright. Anachabe and McEwan transferred too, but that didnt matter.
