Kolek planning to go pro
I don't want to replace Sam's 15PPG from within, because not one player will be capable of doing it..I want Sam's 15 PPG replaced by someone from the outside, and I want the pieces that were originally going to be depth(Bailey, Cain etc), to remain just that..depth.
Why does Sam's 15 ppg have to be replaced by a single player?
Depth is the foundation for long term success. Of course you are right. Depth is how you overcome guys leaving, getting hurt or homesick. We just learned the hard way that we have no depth.
I think it was generally liked because he was considered a pass first PG with an elite steal rate, and we needed a PG and defensive help. Obviously it didn't work out, but there were signs that he would be a decent back up PG / change of pace option.
Because...Sam averaged that..so if you want as little chance of falling off as with Sam, then you need to replace his PPG with one player. Let me explain..The easiest way to look at this is 25PPG/12 REB pg just left...So now instead of two players carrying that load(Sam and Joey), it's likely going to take 3-4 of the current roster to make up for that now, where as had they stayed, those players that will now have to make up for that, whatever they brought next year was just going to be a bonus..now..they will need it. I was figuring 50PPG between Sam, Markus and Koby next year..3 guys averaging 50+PPG, you lose 15PPG of that...not to mention 6 rebs per game. What I would like to see is a "trade" so to speak, you lose 25PPG and 12 REB PG, you bring in two guys to replace as much of that 25PPG 12REB as you can, and the guys on the current team stay in their current roles..then you go without taking much of a step back IMO.
FluffIf no great options, take a pass. There is no shame on passing on guys.
Even one year players where depth is an issue?If you are talking a traditional transfer or a late 2019 freshman, I agree with you. But there is little harm in bringing in a one year rental.
I would take the Rick SLU program right now.

Quite the analysis right here.Pretty sure several posters around here are mostly just hoping for failure at this point.
LloydsThat was my point. We currently have no depth. Prior to last Monday, decent depth on the squad. Currently, lesser talent on team and diminished depth. That is how programs go in reverse quickly.
FluffWas the grad transfer this season a fix for the PG situation? Of course he should try and fill in spots, but only with D1 ball players.
J5What is outcome of those games and when were stats during the game. Rob Deer would have been the greatest home run hitter in Brewer history if they only kept count of meaningless home runs. How many NFL QB's have padded stats against prevent defense. There is more than just looking at a stat sheet.
VanderHe should sign grad transfers this year.....IF THEY CAN PLAY D1 BALL. The kid from Drexel cannot.
