I also think it is too early to say what they will be next year. There are so many unknowns. You don't know how Jackson, Long, Babb, Kasongo and Young will progress and you don't know how ready Lard, Wigginton, Lewis, and Mcneill are. Odds are that they are an NIT team but they could be worse than that or they could be better. They could also still add 1-2 pieces for next year that we don't know how good they will be. Beverly could be a good role player or he could be terrible.
Its typical to have message board discussion on how good or how bad the next team will be, especially when we lose so much scoring AND experience. Probably somewhere in between both sides of the spectrum. While many have pointed out it will be fun to watch the young talent grow (while hoping the returnees like Babb and Young can really step up their games), all I can think of is last year's OU team. There was a lot of talent on that team but they had lost Cousins/Heild/Spangler/etc. OU really struggled but showed promise and had some high spots occasionally. Guessing that's what we're headed for...depending on what good additions we could still pull off yet in May.
