Bring back three freshman and it’s an A+ offseason, assuming no decommits. Bring back 2/3 and it’s suddenly just a C or so, and really bad if we lose Proctor. Bring back 1/3 or none and we’re treading water, failing operationally with NIL.
I appreciate Roach’s contribution this year but I think it’s time to shake his hand and let one of McCain/Foster take his place, assuming Proctor is staying of course. Roach is who he is at this point and from the SG perspective, emphasis on shooting, I am inclined to gamble on the upside of the two incoming guards.
If we can’t field a top 30 offense, let alone top 50, with next year’s roster, questions will rightfully crop up on Scheyer’s abilities on that end. I think he’s proven a better defensive tactician than K, but he’ll be tested without Lively next year too
While I generally agree with this, if Roach wanted to come back would you not want a senior of his caliber over the relative unknown of McCain et al?
We can at this point probably pencil him in for like 108 ORating and a good understanding of the defense. Mid 30s 3pt%. Plus the value of continuity. I don’t know if McCain’s base case is as good.
I stated my logic in the NCAAT thread but I’m a tail-ends guy who would take the gamble on the upside. To condense, we know almost exactly what we’re getting from Roach at SG and it doesn’t include outcomes where he’s shooting 40%+ from deep
