[QUOTE="WesterveltVictoryCigar, post: 1177951, member: 3734"] No one is considering it because it's very unlikely. Abrams isn't going to go through 2 tough years of rehabbing major injuries and then decide to leave. He's probably not going to be anywhere near the player he used to be, but he's going to play again next season. I expect Thorne to play again this year, so yes, he's unlikely to be around next season. Nope. Collins has them going in a good direction but not "light years". They are going to be NIT at best this season. I do expect they'll finally break through and finally make the NCAAs in the next few seasons, though. But if we have the right coach in place, it's not tough to push ahead of them again. Yeah, and that's also why having Nunn out was really huge. We can debate the impact of not having Thorne, Black and Abrams. They are starters, but not the stars of the team. However, with them out and now you start taking those "stars" like Nunn away, the impact is even bigger. Up until now we've at least had Hill and Nunn to rely on. With Nunn out, teams can focus on Hill since we have to play some other guys that are not going to be major threats to score. [/QUOTE]
