Well looking at it on the side of the coin:
* Tilmon was highly ranked and is big and athletic, but he did not dominate this past year moving back to ESTL, raised big question marks not stay at La Lu, did not win Mr Basketball nor make some all state teams, was constantly in foul trouble all year long. But he had good long term potential if he could put it all together, would have needed to play out of necessity next year.
* Pickett was a likely RS candidate, would not contribute until an upperclassmen most likely. Solid player overall, but long term kid maybe.
* Williams is coming off ACL surgery and missed almost his entire senior season of HS, is he going to be ready to play right away?
* Frazier is the one instant impact type who I think we are going to see productive minutes from, but even he needs some time in the weight room but at least he is a plus offensive player you can find ways to make you productive.
Did that "top 15" recruiting class look like an instant impact type of class? Not to me... and would have looked ten times worse if Groce was still here.
Let this play out, I think we round this out very nicely to end this year a lot of really good players opening things up again now. Worst case we have more scholarships for 2018.
