Sims will replace him in the starting lineup and will take a big step in his sophomore season. He started to show his true potential near the end of the season. 4 of our 5 starters were on the roster last season, the need to completely overhaul the roster like you're talking about isn't necessary. He just needs to start winning games with the talent he has...

You and apparently McGrath are a lot more confidence than I would be. Cacock is as massive a loss in what he gave you as any team will ever have to replace just to seemingly tread water where you were last year. You might need 2 or 3 players just to make up the singular value he was giving you.

I wouldn't feel to confident in bench players from last year or some high school freshman to replace all that in the aggregate. Just seems like he would want to get some more established immediate help after his first two years if his job was on the line.

I'm not gonna sit here and debate you on how Cacok can be replaced... because he can't be. No matter how you angle it, it's a stupid debate because he just can't be... However, there is hope with Toews, Gadsden, Estime, and Sims returning. If you watched UNCW basketball last year, you would understand that. With the CAA wide open next year, UNCW has the talent to compete. I'm not saying CB can get it done, I'm just saying he has the talent to get it done.

Seems like all the more reason he would be going in heavier on JUCO's and Grad transfers.

Disagree. I don’t think you’ll find a D1 coach that is willing to be heavier on JUCOs and Grad transfers than his own recruits. If he finds success, it’s not sustainable in that model because he only has those players definitively for 1-2 years. He’d be left trying to get lucky with transfers every year for a while and that doesn’t make for sound logic if you’re in it for a career.

Context. It makes a lot of sense for a coach in year 3 that has started as poorly as McGrath.
