We are all planning on Stokes leaving in the next several hours with all the reports pointing that way. Many feel our post game is going to suffer, and likely will, with Stokes gone. I know we are looking at bringing in another big whether it be a grad transfer or a possible late JUCO addition. However, it's always interesting to see how guys step up their games when they know they absolutely have to.
Versatility may be our biggest weapon next year. The only bruisers we will have will be Pops and Turman. Then we have a list of versatility. We can put Davis, Reese, Cofer, Moore, and Cornish (he's physically mature) all at the 4 or even play small ball at times. That would mean we are seriously going to have a speed advantage offensively and have a rebounding and defensive disadvantage on the other end. Whoever we add moving forward, next years schemes will be interesting to watch. I still think we will have bench player "emerge" to truly play at or above their capabilities. Tends to happen when your backs against the wall.
