I'm expecting four more transfers in. You all can do the math lol

Three open scholarships. If Goode or Nico leaves, there's the fourth. Boom!

Or CH comes back, that leaves two open scholarships. I could see both Goode and Nico leaving.

More power to him If he picks up an extra $50.000 transferring can put a down payment on a nice car.

I think it’s a bad idea to push all of the guys you’ve been selling on being EDG s out the door in favor of the newest shiny toys. I understand how competition works, but why did Cal leave Kentucky? He got the most talented (admittedly younger) guys , threw them together and watched them come up short in postseason. I think continuity matters. Guys like Goode and Ty provide that.
Yeah, seems like a high percentage of the posters here would be fine with everyone out the door, so the speculation on "who would start", who's coming off the bench" could get even more insane. It is sort of fun to watch. Some very imaginative people.

Not sure the appeal of Providence over us at this point. We finally can sell tournament success and runs again.

How does our success from last year's team have any bearing on our appeal? That team is gone. And from what insiders are saying even more of them are leaving. Having one successful year with those guys means nothing now if we have no holdovers from that team. If we are going to build a team of entirely new players like this then it comes down to money. If we get outbid we get outbid. We are seemingly trying to build a team of transfers like Kentucky used to build a team of top freshmen. The problem is that Kentucky had the standard that they got guys to the NBA so they could recruit on that (along with the money). We don't have that extra feature to offer them. We don't get players to the NBA and we have had one year of tournament success. So what is the draw? Money I guess. We may be successful doing that, we seem to be 1-1 lately with that approach so we don't know yet. But I firmly believe we can put the phrase Every Day Guys to bed for a little bit. If Rodgers or Goode leave because we don't value them then we don't value that term and can stop pretending like we do. And I'm not even saying that we can't bring in better players. We may be able to...but can we play this game every year? Disregard the players we already have. All it is is Creaning players without having to be the ones actually having to get your hands dirty. Just bring in the guys needed to push old players out. Its an awful system that might work in the short term, but long term you have widely varying results and diminishing fan loyalty. Yay
