Effeciency ranking systems loved Griffin. I wonder how much his departure is hurting this teams rankings. I think overall, his presence will be disappated by Miller and the transfers. Not that I don't think he wouldnt have played major minutes for us, I just think we have pieces to replace him and things like T-rank can't possibly predict that.
We actually have a decent amount of new faces next year. This is the most talent we've had on a single team in almost a decade, and a lot of that talent is already proven. With Kofi, we at minimum get votes. Not overly concerned with preseason rankings, I think we will have a similar trajectory to last year. Might be sluggish at the beginning, but we'll look like a B1G at the end of the day. The sit outs might mitigate that start too. And if Trent can round into shooting form again it's hard to not be extremely excited about this team, even if no one gets to see them in person.
