We’ve lost three, maybe four players who could have helped us win games – Daniels (locker room cancer), Chapman (problem child who didn’t think he needed to do what the coaches asked), and Tillman (admittedly a headscratcher). Maybe put Zamora on the list, maybe Jayce Johnson, although right now I’d rather have Carlson playing big minutes than Johnson, even as a true FR he’s an immediate upgrade over JJ.
This team has a ton of talent, and potential, and zero problem children. There are also two immediate impact players coming in next season. This is not the “same story year after year”, Larry is building something and if the primary contributors stay (I expect there will be a couple of transfers due to lack of PT) this could be the start of a really nice run.
