Message: [QUOTE="PAHusky, post: 2581390, member: 3807"] The only arguments I'd make is your emphasis on keeping a core together. I think we have to wait until the season is over to figure out whether we lose anyone from the team we currently have (transfers/going pro/etc). If adams and larrier both move on to the next basketball step, the core you refer to is Whaley/Carlton/Polley/Diarra/Gilbert/Sid. Gilbert is essentially a freshman again next year in term's of experience. Sid is a freshman in terms of experience. The other four guys have, at best, been up and down. The turnover for next year would be as great if not greater than this year. If adams and larrier move on, you're looking at a starting lineup next year of.....who? If Gilbert, god forbid, can't come back, we're relying on a freshman, vital and whatever 5th year guard we can convince to tag along with this program for a year to run the point. In a guard oriented offense. Woof. As is obvious from my many meandering posts on the topic, I think KO should be let go after the season. I do feel bad for him though, as I think he had good intentions in terms of how he'd construct his roster but a combination of some very poor recruiting on his end and some tough breaks means that the team this year and for the foreseeable future is way beneath the normal talent level of a UConn team.
