I don't think that you'll be torched. Opinions are what make these discussions worthwhile. In regards to your thoughts, I agree that we have the right staff, but they're going to have to replace all five starters and top two players off the bench in one off-season. Now, that assumes no Kofi. Some think there's still a chance he comes back, which changes things. If he doesn't, the staff will have to pull an enormous rabbit out of the hat for this team to be a tournament team.

Well we did that with our assistants last off season so....

Where are we getting the Caleb Love transfer from? He’s the starting guard for a Blue Blood and will be the face of that team next year.

Add to that the fact that UNC is still alive in the tournament. Our insiders are really good, but I'm definitely curious on this one.

The poor guy was attacked constantly on social media and on some message boards. These kids(and they are kids) read this stuff. Frazier had to come to his defense early in the season. Again, I don't want to speculate because I just don't know, but if it were me at 19(oh to be 19 again), I'd be tired of it and more importantly 2)my parents would have been. New starts can be a great thing.

I love Belo and hate to see him go if that is what ends up happening. He has skills you just can't teach and has such a great feel for the game. I don't think he and the coaching staff were in sync this year, which is unfortunate.

Crazy gloom and doom.

Andre loves Brad and our program. He was a rising star freshman year and got derailed by injuries this year. With Kofi gone he will be the focus of the offense. I don't think he goes anywhere.

Coleman has seen steady improvement in his playing time. He is our only returning big with significant playing time 19 minutes per game. He finished season on high note with great games vs Indiana Iowa and UTC

Iowa 37 minutes 9 pt 11 rb
Indiana 32 minutes 19 pts 4 rb
UTC 10 pts 32 minutes 8 rb

Just because BU is capable of pulling that off doesn't mean he should have to do it on a yearly basis!

Every fan base/message board does this, and they do it to any player who is not a consensus AA (and even then they do it). If he moves to a new school, it will likely be the same.

We're not unique.

While I agree with your sentiment, I trust our insiders.

I personally would much prefer Curbelo and Hawkins stay and be leaders on this team next year. I think they will both be great.

If we lose them, we might be able to pull in one of the many interesting transfers to replace them. We might not. These transfers have a lot of options.
