Foster/Blackwell/Dubar/Walker vs Griffin/Grill/Lewis/Leech/Anderson. Which group do you choose?
Bolton and Solo are Big 12 quality starters. They would start at some schools and get 20+ at most. Obviously not KU/BU. We aren't shooting for top 3 in the conference anyway next year. Let Bolton play 36+ minutes.
Tre is ideally a 3 and D first guard off the bench guy, I think most agree he can contribute at this level in that role.
Conditt needs to get stronger but with him and Foster, the 5 is at least serviceable.
We need Johnson/Blackwell/Dubar to turn out an above average and average player to share time on the wing. We also need to somehow land a solid PG.
If the above happens, talent-wise we have the players to be middle of the pack in the conference. We don't need 13 guys (or more than 8 even) to be a tourney team, they advanced to the Sweet 16 with win over UNC with 6 guys + Edozie. I realize we had 7 most the year and they were very talented but really only 7. We are just trying to get in, we don't need to be a 3 seed.
Some pieces need to fall in place of course but you have 4 tries at improving the roster. Just speaking from a talent perspective, I could see this team make the tourney if a couple hit. I will plead the fifth on whether or not I believe in the coaching.
