I want ZZ gone because of his size, don't care what class he is.
That's foolish. Despite his size, he averaged 10.7 pts and led the SEC in assists with 5.4. Also a decent rebounder for his size. A career 33% 3-pt shooter, as well. Disliking him for his size is nonsensical. If he were a middling player and not an all-SEC PG, you'd have a point. As it stands, your complaint holds no water. I'm fine with not wanting him playing 35 minutes, or even starting, but just outright wanting him gone is dumb.
I would expect the team to struggle early sure because of lack of chemistry but by tournament time they'd be prepared and they've been through years of wars.
You're completely fine projecting that idea, rather comfortably, but not with projecting improvement from our existing roster. That's a convenient double standard.
Also the problem is..... let's say Freddie and Estrella are as good as people are hoping they will be, they're one and done. Then JP possible leaves after next year. Then both portal takes are one and done, you're just turning the roster over again.
Nothing to suggest that either player is one-and-done. Not sure where you're getting that idea. And if they were, hypothetically, isn't that a good thing? Doesn't that mean they had really good years? And then we can replace them with some of your juniors and seniors you're pining for out of the portal.
So then why not just re load in the portal with upperclassmen every year? Eventually you'll get a group that will hit.
