Message: [QUOTE="REB1094, post: 4350945, member: 12147"] Think it all depends on what happens next year. Newton and Alleyne have extra years of eligibility if they want it. The goal is for Hawkins and Andre to go pro after next year, but if they don't, then we could have our starting PG/SG/SF solidified already. Castle would probably take 6th Man from Alleyne, and then him/Diarra/Ball would share bench backcourt minutes with potential to try some out as a small ball SF. Ross would probably be a multi-year developmental player regardless, and this obviously doesn't include any future commits/transfers. There's lots of combinations for these guys depending on who leaves next offseason. If we want Ball/Ross/maybe Middleton to be the go-to guys in 2023, then you are absolutely right we are definitely in trouble. They all look very raw, but they still have a year to develop in HS and maybe with some guys from the coaching staff giving them feedback. However, unless everybody overachieves next year and goes pro (which would hopefully mean a deep tournament run!), I think we'll have at least a few major players back to allow the freshmen a year to get into the swing of BE basketball.
