Roles for next years team

This is in another thread but posting it here as well...since there is discussion about Iowa in the standings next year. Michigan and Wisconsin should move ahead of us. But most of the top teams from this year are suffering losses comparable to Iowa. I think it comes down to what each of us thinks of our freshmen, RS freshman and sophomores compared to other schools' incoming recruiting classes.


Probable personnel losses for each team.

Indiana – Bielfeldt, Zeisloft and Ferrell
Michigan State – Forbes, Costello, Valentine and Davis (FR)
Maryland – Sulaimon, Layman, Stone (FR) and Carter (JR)
Purdue – Hammons, Davis, Stephens (JR) and Swanigan (FR)
Iowa – Clemmons, Gesell, Uthoff and Woodbury
Wisconsin – No One
Ohio State – No One
Michigan – LeVert and Dawkins (SO)
Northwestern – Demps & Olah
Penn State – Foster, Jack and Taylor
Nebraska – Shields and Parker
Illinois – Thorne and Nunn (JR)...Assault Charges so ?
Minnesota – King, Morris and Dorsey (FR)
Rutgers – Daniels, Grier and Lewis

Edit - Keep in mind Ohio State had a highly rated class this season and only Lyle did much of note.

I think the real key to this year's team is how Uhl plays. If he improves his shot selection and let's the game come to him he can be a force. If he tries to do to much on his own he could cause problems in the flow of the game. I have high hopes for the developement of our players but we will experience some growing pains.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Alex Olah of Northwestern a senior? And aren't there a number of transfers at each school, most notably 4 transfers leaving tOSU? Here's the list of all transfers: http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/14390188/college-basketball-transfer-list

You are correct about Olah. I only listed players that averaged at least 4 points a game...have to draw the line somewhere. None of the guys leaving Ohio State met the 4 points per game criteria.

Talentwise, i feel we have enough coming in and returning to at least be a bubble team. everything else depends on how the team blends together, as well as what the non-conf and conference schedule breaks down (i think the rotating schedule is supposed to let up on us next year).

It's just way too early to have any truly firm opinions, with so much left in the air regarding transfers, guys who leave for the draft or not...etc. It will be fun to talk about all summer.
 
PG: Williams (Can't wait to see what this kid can do with all the minutes he will be given)
SG: Jok (Should easily average close to 20 ppg/ 40-45% from 3)
F: Dale Jones (Should be a reliable 3pt guy, can get boards, and gives us good size)
F: Uhl (He may be the biggest ?, if he can put it together there's no reason he cant put up 12 ppg 7rbg)
F: Cook (Don't know a thing about him other than 4 star recruit and he's 6'9" so hopefully he can bring some rim protection)
