Message: [QUOTE="Towney007, post: 2697426, member: 5832"] Well it's certainly good news and I think this expedites a rebuild by quite a bit - especially if we get a best case scenario with more of the players than not. While it's hard to have any clue where we are nationally - we should be very competitive in the conference. I mean right now we actually look great in the back court. We have guard depth, Adams will certainly be the focal point for scoring and i'm especially intrigued to see what he can do now that he won't have to play PG. The key is going to be Gilbert, really; but if he's even above average, we stand to be 'fine' to actively good in the back court. The talent is certainly there. My questions are just going to be up front again. Carlton coming back could be big and not only getting him back but taking some steps forward. Diarra - to me at least- is by far the most interesting guy on the team. He's incredibly raw, but I love his pace and aggressiveness and if he can prove his chops next year - we could be better than anticipated. Whalley to me replaces Larrier - and might even be an upgrade, so we should be OK there. Vital comes back and we're really interesting. He's a fun jack of all trades, master of none guy who would give us a lot more flexibility. We won't be all that deep and I think elite teams should and probably will blow our doors off - but again - if cards fall the right way, we could play post season hoops again and that'd be a massive feather in the cap as we'll have a real, legitimate recruiting class to lean back on for Hurley 2.0.
