We do have 3 young freshman who played significant minutes and at times played impressively. They will be joined by 3 more freshmen next year. Just those 6 include an inside scoring threat and defender (Payne), a couple solid ball handlers (Mann and Nembhard), a couple of shooters (Locke and Mann), a slasher and defender (Lewis) and a dynamic player who can score and rebound ( KJ). Pick up a grad transfer with size and get more out of any combination of Ballard/stone/Bassett/Okauru and I think you could say the rebuild is already progressing.
I think that too many do not believe the talent level of the 6 youngins is very impressive. I think it is.
Final piece is more length. Need a strong 2020 class and we’ll have talent, depth and continuity.
