Next year, as it stands

But where does Kostas fit in this chain?

He is the one we need but got away

I think Matt will be fine at the 5 with the other bigs to help out. We've won with offensive non-factors like Otule and Burke, and guys like Kameron Woods, Tyler Wideman, Carson Desrosiers, and Chris Obekpa have been in the middle of tourney teams from our league in recent years.

Since there are always going to be changes, this actually means nothing. However, assuming status quo for next year.....

1.  Markus, Rowsey
2.  Haanif, Duane, Sacar
3.  Hauser, Cain
4/5.   Heldt, John, Froling, Eke.

Good size. Is Hauser going to be quick enough to guard 3's? How will the bigs rotation shake out? Which of the bigs can play a stretch 4 in the 4 out/ 1 in offense? Which of the young bigs is game-ready first? Who redshirts? Lots of interesting pieces. Looking forward to it.

I'm not too worried about Hauser being quick enough to guard the 3. Hauser's rebounding at a higher rate than Luke right now; he might actually be a 4 with the ability to step out.

That, plus Haanif (6-5/195) and Sacar (6-5/205) both have the size to play the 3 — the same as Wes Matthews (listed just a bit bigger at 6-5/215, but Haney and Sacar will likely put on some more muscle before next season).

Should have a lot of options and roster flexibility. But that's at least 10 months away. Right now I'm excited for tonight's game and the rest of the Big East schedule.
