I certainly no expert but the following has occurred to me when looking at each teams roster.
Houston stands to lose 6 players from the current roster for next season, assuming Grimes enters the NBA draft. Kelvin Sampson could replace these losses with recruiting and the transfer portal but Sampson seems inclined to largely only recruit players who will work hard and play defense. Meanwhile, Memphis is loading up 4-5 star talent even if it comes with a fair number of misses.

I think our roster is in for a bit of a shakeup. How much is yet TBD.

Right now it's for sure 3
4 if you include Grimes

We load up 3 top 200 guys including a top Center prospect.

We will definitely hit the portal for a shooter.

Misses?

Not sure whom you would consider a miss.

Freshman and Sophomores who play lockdown defense and score ~10 points a game...I wouldn't consider those misses.

Unless you consider Trevon Mark a Miss.

Penny made some mistakes in his first two years letting people close to his program that should have never step foot on campus.

I took that to mean missing out on several to recruits Penny pursued. Who knows?
