we lose one player, bringing in a very good recruiting class, and gained a year of experience that they're not going to want to repeat again... we have 6-7 very good ooc games as well

Nah, Boatright this year was the equivilant of 3 players. At least capitalize, bold, italic and underline the word 'one'.

It's not guaranteed, but I can see it happening.
We know that Hamilton, Purvis and Brimah can all give us outstanding games. They each just have to do it on a much, much more consistent basis.
We know that Nolan and Samule are able to be material contributors to a top level team BECAUSE THEY HAVE DONE IT. No, neither gave us this year what I thought they could, but all the yelling that they are not Division 1 players when they each contributed to their rings is just stupid.
Omar, at the least, is capable of being an off the bench scorer. And hopefully the frosh, and Facey, and maybe even Cassell and Lubin, can give us something.
There is enough raw talent. The pieces have to get much, much more consistent individually, and the team chemistry has to be much, much better. But it's not as if we don't have the pieces to find a team with a few stars and competent role players around them.

While I still think this team, from a talent standpoint, is one of the worst, if not the worst that I can remember in quite some time, I think it's pretty obvious that they've underperformed relative to their talent. If guys make incremental improvements and they fix whatever it is in the air with respect to chemistry, effort, awareness, focus then a bunch of Ls this season can be Ws next year. I don't think they're going to be Duke or Kentucky or on anyone besides Scrappy's short list to get to the Final Four, but they can be a tournament team.
