Reality: Hawks are playing without 4 probable starters

[AIRHAWK]

The way I see it is this year's team is down 3 starters and one key bench player. At the start of the year we had 9 guys on the team that could be at least decent contributors. There are probably only 10 schools in the country who have more than 9 guys capable of playing good at this level so save the "Fran couldn't fill a roster with 13 good players" take. When you have 9 good players and it drops to 4, you have to give a lot of minutes to guys who just aren't good enough to contribute. Those minutes are killing us right now. We could have lost our 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th best players and we would still be in trouble for that reason. Losing our 3rd, 4th, and 5th best player is just too much.

Lets look at our team.
Garza...stud
Joe W. Stud
Kriener? serviceable but meh
Connor? Not good enough. Tough, tries his ass off but just not good enough
JT? thrown into action too early. This will pay dividends but inconsistent now
Evelyn? Not good enough, not even close
Pemsl? Please
Till? Doesnt play at Loras
Baer and the other 8th grader on the bench...huh?
