And if someone leaves early for the NBA, we're still in great shape. We don't want to be in a position where we're begging one guy to stick around or hoping one guy develops. This is a far cry from being unable to recruit over Amida Brimah and Rodney Purvis, or having a year sunk by Daniel Hamilton leaving too early. In 2021 we'll have multiple experienced bigs and multiple young bigs to develop. In 2022 we can tolerate a guy like Bouknight leaving for the NBA and backfill with Martin, a developing Jackson, and the two freshmen guards. Our bigs will be young, but we'll have 3 of them competing for playing time as sophomores and potentially a returning Akok. The program is in terrific shape under Hurley. This is a guy who clearly has both a strategic vision and a tactical ability to target and close on recruits. [/QUOTE]
