Eli Wright leaving too

[Johnson85]

I am slowly losing faith in howland. Never thought I would say that

That's concerning, but perimeter spots were going to be tight next year.

So the starting lineup will be:
(1) Peters
(2) Q
(3) Stapleton
(4) Holman
(5) Herard

and then Carter, Weatherspoon, and Ado will fill out the normal rotation?

That doesn't leave me nearly as excited (Keglar was the bigger loss just because of his versatility and lack of similar players), but we're still ok. I think this is pretty much reality now for every program outside of the true blue chippers. Coaches constantly have to walk the fine line between letting the inmates run the asylum and having their roster decimated by transfers.

This one is way more understandable than Kegler. Any time you bring in 7 highly-rated guys in one class, you expect a defection or two. And Wright got little playing time, so there you go.

This one isn't a surprise or some ominous sign. Stinks, but it's college basketball.

Most teams don't have more than 7 or 8 people that actually get meaningful minutes anyway. I did like Wright's hustle though as opposed to Kegler.

We don't have a problem as far as numbers, and I don't think we're losing a superstar with either player, but I thought Keglar was a very good piece, particularly for our team. Showed a lot of promise as a true freshman, and while I'm not sure he he will develop into the matchup problem he could be where he posts up perimeter players and takes post players outside, he was going to be a big contributor regardless, especially after cutting out some of the freshman issues like TOs.

With Keglar, between him, Q, and Peters, somebody is going to be dangerous on any given night. Take him away, and if Herard hasn't made a good jump on offense, we are going to be putting a lot of pressure on Peters and Q to carry the offensive load day in and day out.
