Call me crazy, I don’t think the roster is that bad. Trayce and Race are fine and assuming both come back, it’s one of the better front courts in the B10. Throw in Dumcomb and potentially Brunk return, there isn’t any concern.
Franklin is a budding star in this league and you saw a quick glimpse in a 5-6 game stretch before turning his ankle. Clearly hasn’t been the same since.
Biggest issue by far is our two upperclassmen guards. Neither Al or Rob have played with any kind of confidence. It’s killed the offense all year. No telling how good Stewart will be, but he’ll at least hunt his shot, something Al not Rob do. I’ve been Lander’s biggest critic all year, but he’s shown some promise the last few games and you can just tell he has a talent ceiling that far exceeds Phinisee. A full offseason in the weight room SHOULD have him ready to contribute in a big way next year.
A starting 5 of Lander/Stewart/Franklin/Race/TJD next year is more than fine and one that isn’t devoid of talent. Your constant on-the-ledge mentality really clouds your judgement.
