I can't see where we would miss Juan.  I watched him all year and didn't see anything.  Every man he tried to cover scored.  He had no hands and didn't do anything.  I wish people would stop saying that players become better when they get older.  There is no sure thing.  I don't think we will have a hard time filling his spot.

Oh brother....now you are going to back peddle.

You have spent multiple posts claiming that they are going to bring more than Juan would have.  And now you are falling back on rankings?  Seriously, what is the point?

You really need to start quoting me if you are just going to accuse me of things I never said.  YES I'm 'falling back' on the rankings that I've mentioned in nearly every post.  
If you tell me that a team(any team in the world) is bringing in 3 highly ranked players and that they are counting on one of them to replace a guy who scores 2 ppg, shoots 33%, can't hit FTs and isn't a good defender, I'm willing to put down $ that at least one can do that.  I don't need to know there names, I don't need to watch youtube and I don't need to go scout them, it is a safe bet.  

A player who  scores 2 ppg, shoots 33%, can't hit FTs and isn't a good defender is a bad player.  Do you know how many points he scored in four tournament games?  0!  He was 0-7 from the field and never got to the line.  Why is it so incredible that I think one of our recruits will pan out to the tune of 4 ppg and 35% shooting?  How the hell have you convinced yourself that this is an extreme view or a bold prediction?

Frosh. rarely make a significant impact. There is data to support this.

Juan as a junior would probably be a more effective player than the incoming guys. That's just how things work. 


Juan Anderson wouldn't have made a significant impact. There is data to support this.

Please show your math.  You can't just say that all juniors (despite being bad as fresh and soph)will probably be better than all freshmen.
