The ACC 5 -12 seems wide open next season

IMO it all comes down to Lasz, Durham and Ryan. If Hubb is the leading scorer that will be a major problem. IMO the best case scenario is Lasz or Ryan being the leading scorer. Durham needs to have a senior season similar to Geben.

I see Louisville loses their top 4 scorers and 6 of their top 8. They are relying on Johnson/Williamson and Williams making a big jump and 2 mid major transfers.

Under the radar ----- just where we want to be.


He’s not especially bullish on the Irish. *

Why should we expect analysts to be bullish?

What made our team what it was last season? I'd argue if you were to name the top 3 players in determining how we did any given night, it is the 3 players who have graduated. While Dane and, to a lesser extent, Nate showed us some promise, they were inconsistent. Hubb was hot and cold all season, and Juwan would have a great game one game and disappear the next.

So returning we have a hot-and-cold point guard and 3 other players that were inconsistent (Dane less so than others). We also have a player who most analysts haven't seen in Ryan. After that, the only guys with college experience are Carmody and Djogo.

As I have typed this, it's occurred to me that there are only 6 guys I am confident in saying will be in the rotation for minutes. I suspect early on Djogo will get rotational minutes because of experience. Having at least 1 freshman step up will be necessary to compete in the ACC, and that's a tall task.


Where did I say that we should? *
