    Agree on the transfers as this has been stated many times by me and Ari and others so it's not exactly an original thought.
    I'll give you Perry is the replacement for Kegler but the other two aren't replacements for the losses of Newman and Herard. Those two spots haven't been filled/replaced yet. Nick Spoon was always coming here so he's not a replacement for Newman either.

    Please don't put Herard in that he loss category other than what we THOUGHT he would be when we signed him. Dude is raw as a corn cob and will likely be a Senior somewhere before he has any decent contribution to his team. Those that evaluated him in HS, including Howland, just missed royally. For us, it was best to free up his scholarship.

    That is literally the definition of a miss and you can't have any in basketball when they are supposed to be starters/major players. You can miss on the last guy on your bench not on starters/major contributors. Just because Herard ended up being the last guy on the bench doesn't change that he is a major miss. Had we missed on Datcher and Herard was actually as good as advertised we wouldn't feel the effects of Datcher sucking at all. There's the difference.

    Eli Wright is treading the line of being a miss too. Brooks is another miss. Howland is racking up the misses right now and not nailing enough makes.
